Zhou Flushes Kumar

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Steven Zhou came within a whisker of busting at the feature table, but instead put a nasty beat on Anish Kumar.

It was Shane De Clifford who lit the blue touch paper with an under-the-gun open to 110,000 with Zhou moving all-in for over 1.1 million from the next seat over.

Anish Kumar cold-called from the big blind - usually a sign of strength - and De Clifford must have thought so too from the speed of his fold.

Anish Kumar: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Steven Zhou: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Kumar held the best starting hand in poker but was not happy about the monochrome {q-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Spades} flop and while he faded spades on the {3-Clubs} turn, Zhou got there on the {7-Spades} river to take a big bite out of Kumar's stack.
