Ward Pays Zhou Off, Then Doubles Up

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Things were looking bleak for Thomas Ward as he was slowly losing chips to Zhou Zhou. On one hand, the board read {5-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Zhou bet 300,000. Ward called and Zhou showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for two pair and won the pot. That hand left Ward with $1.7-million chips.

On the next hand, Ward limped and Zhou raised to 180,000. Before Zhou finished raising, Ward had already shoved all in and Zhou's raised turned into an all in call.

It was a race with Zhou holding {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Ward holding {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The flop looked great for Zhou when it came {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, but the {q-Clubs} peeled off on the turn to the applause of Ward's rail. The river was the {a-Hearts} and sealed the double for Ward.
