Madeira Send Zhang Into the Tank
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Pedro Madeira raised from the cutoff and Yang Zhang defended the big blind.
The flop came 9?2?7?. Both players checked it to the 4? turn. Zhang led for 205,000. Madeira raised to 650,000 which Zhang took his time to consider before calling.
The river came the 5? to straighten the board out even more. Madeira announced a bet of 1,200,000, leaving himself with only about 550,000 behind.
Zhang went into the tank and took close to four minutes before he silently slid his cards into the muck.
