Zhang Shoves Into Raina

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The action has somewhat slowed down and just small pots were played towards the end of the level. Gaurav Raina opened to 54,000 from the cutoff and Chi Zhang moved all in for 534,000 in total from the small blind. "This is a pretty close one," Raina said. "I kind of predicted you would do this, but it's still tough," he added.

Two minutes passed and Raina said, "You can breathe," before sending his cards into the muck.

In a battle of the blinds, [Removed:153] checked the {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds} turn and Tom Thomas bet 100,000, which Stenholm called. On the Qc] river, Stenholm bet 175,000 and Thomas folded. "Show a black card," Scott Margereson teased from the other side of the table, but Stenholm just raked in the pot with a grin on the face.

Eric Cloutier raised to 65,000 and Griffin Abel defended the big blind. On the {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, both players checked. Abel bet the {3-Spades} turn for 100,000 and Cloutier folded.

Soon after, Abel raised the button to 60,000 and Pete Chen shoved for 432,000 in the small blind to rake in the pot uncontested.
