Zhang Joins the Biggest Stacks
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In a hand that started at the end of the previous level, a seemingly innocent pot of around 55,000 emerged to the J?7?5?2? turn. That's when things escalated between Hongru Zhang and Ran Shahar with the former jamming into a bet and getting called.
Hongru Zhang: 8?4?
Ran Shahar: Q?J?
The naked top pair of Shahar had zero equity ahead of the 9? river and Zhang earned a healthy double for 167,000.
