Javalera becomes the chip leader with 2m

Not having won a pot in several orbits, Jun Javalera entered a pot with a three-bet to 120k on Weiyi Zhang’s raise of 60k. Zhang called and the dealer spread the flop of K♥ 4♠ Q♣. Zhang checked to Javalera who rarely ever checks his option and this time was no different. Javalera bet 100k and Zhang called. At the turn of 2♥, action was the same with Zhang check-calling Javalera’s bet, this time of 175k. On the river of J♣, Zhang checked again, Javalera bet 300k, and Zhang made the call after tanking for a couple of minutes. Javalera won with his A♠ K♣ and climbed to 2m chips.
