Zhang Slides, McCorkell Rises
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Chi Zhang has lost a sizeable chunk of his stack during the opening stages of the final table and is now down to 1,450,000 chips.
Some of his stack is now with Craig McCorkell after the latter raised to 85,000 from the cutoff and then called when Zhang three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind. Both players checked the 
flop, and Zhang also checked the 
turn. McCorkell became the aggressor and bet 265,000, prompting a fold from Zhang.
