Zhong Chipping Up
Yuan Li lit the fuse with an under-the-gun raise to 2,100 and received zero respect for opening that early, with Wei Zhu and Yuanhang Zhong making the call from the hi-jack and cutoff respectively, which convinced the big blind to come along for the ride.
The flop came down and the big blind checked it over to Li. With three other players in the hand, he did not seem keen to bet, checking the action over to Zhu who took a stab for 1,500.
Zhu��s neighbor Zhong reached for chips, but not for calling with and he raised to 7,000. While this folded out the big blind and Li, Zhu opted to continue playing and made the call.
The turn saw checks from both players, as did the river. There was a little confusion over who had to show first �C it was Zhu as he was first to act and there had been no betting �C but eventually, Zhu turned over for top pair.
Zhong triumphantly tables for two pair, too a big sigh from Zha who dropped down to 25,500 after the hand, while Zhong stacked up to 115,000.
