Zang’s Creative Play Pays Off

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We have just lost one more with Shunu Zang the man wielding the executioner’s axe. Pre-flop it was John Juanda who opened the action with a raise to 5,800 from the button.

Sitting in the small blind Shunu Zang re-raised to 17,000 only to see big blind Yu Liang quickly ship the last of his 57,100 stack in.

“Oh!” exclaimed Zang, “I don’t have a very good hand.”

Nevertheless Zang decided the chance to eliminate Liang, who was on his second bullet, was too good to pass up and made the call.

Shunu Zang: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}
Yu Liang: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Poker is all about making the wrong move at the right time and Zang hit gin when the flop fell {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to giggles from the rest of the table, Liang included.

There were no running straight cards to help Liang when the turn and river ran out {5-Hearts} and {a-Diamonds} respectively and we lose another.

All that excitement brings us to our first break of the day.
