Miracle River Saves Zhou
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Cheng Zhao kicked off the action with a raise to 60,000 in the cutoff, after which Takumi Odani three-bet to 150,000 on the button. Zhao made the call and a 4?3?6? flop was spread,
Zhao checked to Odani, who continued with a tiny bet of 40,000. Zhoa then jammed all in for 340,000 and Odani snap called with the covering stack.
Cheng Zhao: J?J?
Takumi Odani: K?K?
Both players had overpairs, but Odani's kings had a gigantic lead. The Q? turn was clean for the Japanese player, but the J? river saw Zhao hit his two-outer to double up.
Odani, meanwhile was left with just under 12 big blinds.
