Zhou Grabs Chip Lead
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Tamas Adamszki raised his button to 40,000 and Fahredin Mustafov flat-called from the small blind. Quan Zhou then squeezed in a three-bet to 150,000 from the big blind, which only Mustafov called.
The flop of 8?3?4? saw Adamszki check to Zhou, who continued for 145,000 chips. Mustafov called before the A? turn was checked by both players.
Mustafov then checked the 3? river as well, after which Zhou took a second look at his cards before checking back. Mustafov could only show six-high with 6?5?, which led Zhou to table the winner with his 9?8? for a pair of eights.
By winning this pot, Zhou edged out a small chip lead over his nearest rival on the leaderboard.
