When Rong Xu opened, all folded but Mingzhe Zhang in the big blind. Zhang reversed the action on the flop, not letting Xu place a continuation bet. However, Xu replied by raising the 20K bet to 60K. Zhang called.
On the turn, Zhang checked and Xu went all-in for 129,500. Zhang tanked for a while, then called. At this point everybody knew that both flopped a monster. Cards were tabled.
Board:
Rong Xu:
Mingzhe Zhang:
River: !!
A pot of almost 400K was pushed Zhang’s way, while Xu, understandably disgusted by the result, was left with 1 big blind. He went out shortly after, in 17th, after Michael Levy and before Dario S. and Ivan Driard. 14 players are left.
