HomeSunny Zhang is definitely one of the chip leaders now that he has won a couple of pots against Peter Nguyen before the bust. Zhang had been quite active and in a recent hand, he three-bet David Steicke’s 11500 bet to make it 27500 to go. Steicke folded.
Shortly after, he raised to 11000 and was called by Erik Billgren on the big blind. At the flop of 6♠ 4♠ 6♦, both checked to see a free turn card of 9♣ land on the board. Billgren checked to Zhang who bet 15000, and Billgren folded.
Zhang took in another small pot in a hand against Bryan Huang. Action began with a raise by Zhang pre flop to 11000 and Huang on the big blind flat-called. At the flop of Q♦ 5♦ 6♦, Huang checked to Zhang who bet 15000, and with that, the hand was done as Huang folded.
