Along with the one overcard, Zhang picked up some outs with a flush draw on the turn and he also had some chop outs with a six for the straight. That's exactly what came to the rescue on the river, and they chopped it up thanks to the straight on the board.
Less fortunate were Takashi Ogura, James Broom and Fedon Phaedonos, who were all eliminated recently.

A small group of players were standing up away from table 46 including Jack Salter and Jim Chahoud.
"You can tell who the patient players are," said Salter. "I really need the toilet."
"Go," said tablemate Orjan Skommo. "I went ten minutes ago."
The reason for the gathering was a hand in progress at their table. According to Chahoud, Wang Yi Long opened pre-flop and Yuri Ishida three-bet from the big blind. Long called and called bets from Ishida on the flop and the turn.
The river was the . Ishida had bet 30,000 and Long had moved all in, putting Ishida to the test.
Ishida's tank was approaching the 15-minute mark.
"I'm not gonna call the clock," Salter said to his tablemates. But Andrian Chin had other ideas. The clock was called and the seconds ticked down with Ishida eventaully folding.
"We've played six hands while they've been tanking," someone from a neighbouring table said.
