Steven Zhou upped the aggression just before the break, opening several hands in a row.

The first saw Zhou pop it up to 375,000 from the button with Lior Segre defending from the big blind to bring the pair to a flop of {8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, which Zhou took down with a 375,000 continuation bet.

The next hand saw Zhou make it 400,000 to go from the cutoff, with Segre moving all-in from the small blind for 2,865,000. After asking for a count Zhou decided to pick a better spot and mucked.

The following hand saw Zhou make it 400,000 from under-the-gun with Edwin Chiu calling from the big blind to take play heads-up to a flop of {j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs}, with Zhou taking down the pot with an all-in shove when Chiu checked the action over.

Duan Chao won the next hand, opening to 325,000 on the button, with Zhou calling from the big blind to take play heads-up to a flop of {6-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Zhou check folded to Duan's 225,000 continuation bet.

The last hand before the break saw Edwin Chiu make it 350,000 to go from the button with Zhou and John Zwaine calling from the small and big blind respectively.

All three players checked the {5-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Spades} flop, with Zhou taking a stab for 425,000 on the {q-Diamonds} turn. Chiu called and both players checked the {5-Spades} river, with Chiu taking down the pot with {j-}{7-} after Zhou showed down {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.
