Zhang is on the grind
Play has been quite slow here in the heads-up confrontation between Lu Zhang and Sheraz Nasir, but after Sheraz took the early lead, Lu put her game face on and grinded it back to nearly even. She now holds 5,315,000 chips, just a little behind the 5,770,000 Sheraz, but with the blinds at 50,000 / 100,000, it’s very much anyone’s game.
