HomeBig blind player Yang Zhang earned a nice pile of chips courtesy of the chip leader Michael Soyza and he did it with cool fashion. Action began with Soyza raising to 9k and Zhang defending on the big blind. On the flop A♥ 6♠ 8♦, Zhang checked to Soyza who slid out a small 6500 bet. Zhang called and it was off to the turn K♥. Zhang passed the betting to Soyza again and he obliged with a 22k bet. This time, Zhang put on the shades and smooth-called. On the 9♥ river, it was checked down and Zhang won with his 8♠ 8♥ set.
Zhang has now doubled up his starting day stack and is at 140k.
