Zhou Grabs Chip Lead
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Tamas Adamszki raised his button to 40,000 and Fahredin Mustafov flat-called from the small blind. Quan Zhou then squeezed in a three-bet to 150,000 from the big blind, which only Mustafov called.
The flop of 8♦3♣4♠ saw Adamszki check to Zhou, who continued for 145,000 chips. Mustafov called before the A♠ turn was checked by both players.
Mustafov then checked the 3♦ river as well, after which Zhou took a second look at his cards before checking back. Mustafov could only show six-high with 6♣5♣, which led Zhou to table the winner with his 9♦8♣ for a pair of eights.
By winning this pot, Zhou edged out a small chip lead over his nearest rival on the leaderboard.
