Neuville Wins Coin Flip After Zhou Flips a Coin
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Quan Zhou opened to 24,000 from middle position and right next to him, Pierre Neuville in the hijack shoved for 165,000. Action folded back to Zhou who tanked for a fair bit. He asked the dealer to pull in the 24,000, and tanked some more.
After about a minute or two, Zhou grabbed his card protector coin, flipped it, and instantly called as he saw the result.
Pierre Neuville: 
Quan Zhou: 
The flop (
) and turn (
) were blanks, but the river was the 
that helped Neuville secure the double up. He got up, praised the poker Gods, and started stacking.
