Zheng Hits Running Cards to Bust Ghasan in a Huge Pot
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ibrahim Ghasan got all of his 1,600,000 chips into the middle preflop against Xiaosheng Zheng, who had the covering stack.
Ibrahim Ghasan: K?K? 
Xiaosheng Zheng: J?J?
Ghasan's Cowboys were way ahead of the pocket jacks of Zheng. The flop of K?6?Q? put Ghasan even further ahead, having flopped a set of kings, and now could only lose to running cards. The A? on the turn presented a slight sweat as Zheng picked up a gutshot straight draw. The river was a soul-crushing 10? to give Zheng a Broadway straight with his jacks, earning him the pot and sending Ghasan to the rail in heartbreaking fashion.
