HomeFrom the middle position, Feng Zhao, the dominant chip leader at this point, opened to 34,000 and saw a caller from the big blind in JJ Liang.
All-heart flop arrived A♥ 6♥ K♥ and Liang checked his option.
Zhao continued his story and bet 47,000. Liang called.
Turn was a 7♠ and again Liang checked.
Zhao, yet again, went on with his tale: betting 89,000 this time. Again, Liang called.
River 3♣ was tabled and Liang just checked again.
No stopping Zhao, who fired a bigger 167,000 on the river to send Liang to the tank…
The Chinese called and was shown the bad news: Zhao had the big slick for two pairs right on the flop.
Liang shook his head as he mucked.
Zhao now has over 1.8M at this point.
