Bishow Stays Alive With Double Up Through Zhu
Level 17
: Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Short-stacked to start Day 1, Paul Bishow was looking for an opportunity to double up. He found it from the small blind, and raised $4,000 of his dwindling stack. The double up would be difficult, though, as the big blind was Yueqi Zhu, winner of one WSOP bracelet, 160 WSOP cashes for $3,238,023, and third place in last year's event.
Zhu called, and they took a flop of A?Q?8?. Bishow check raised and Zhu called. When the turn came Q?, Bishow bet all in, and Zhu matched the bet.
Bishow 4?3?
Zhu 5?9?
To complete the underdog double up Bishow would need to dodge another club, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he spiked the 2? on the river.
