Sokolovsky Takes Out Zhu
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alexander Sokolovsky raised to 16,000 from the small blind and Yueqi Zhu defended the big blind with a call.
The flop hit 7♠9♦4♦. Sokolovsky bet 25,000 and Zhu called again.
On the 3♦ turn, Sokolovsky fired 37,000 chips at the pot. Zhu studied for awhile, then raised all in. Sokolovsky quickly called.
Yueqi Zhu: A♦2x
Alexander Sokolovsky: K♦J♦
Zhu had the nut-flush draw, but Sokolovsky had already turned a king-high flush and just needed to fade the river. The 8♥ is what landed and Zhu's tournament was over.
