Alex Zhang Eliminated in 8th Place ($22,589)
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Alex Zhang raised to 800,000 from under the gun and the action folded to big blind Michael Liang, who defended.
The flop was dealt 6?J?10? and Liang checked to Zhang, who put out a continuation-bet for 1,200,000. Liang then jammed, covering Zhang's 3,800,000 stack and Zhang made the call.
Alex Zhang: A?A?
Michael Liang: 10?8?
Zhang's aces had a strong lead on the middle pair of Liang, and the J? turn did not change anything about that fact. However, the brutal 10? river saw Liang being the only one to upgrade his two pair to a full house, and he cracked Zhang's pocket aces to eliminate him in eight place.
