Khorchidian Puts Zhao to the Test
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player from under the gun opened to 4,000 and was called by Cheng Zhao in the hijack before Nichan Khorchidian three-bet to 13,000 from the cutoff. The original raiser folded before Zhao made the call.
The flop came J?J?2? and action checked to Khorchidian who bet 11,000. Zhao check-raised to 30,000, Khorchidian raised to 55,000 and Zhao made the call.
Zhao checked the Q? turn and Khorchidian bet enough to put Zhao, who had about 130,000 behind, all in. Zhao thought for about a minute before opting to fold and Khorchidian dragged in a healthy pot without showdown.
