Bishow Stays Alive With Double Up Through Zhu
Niveau 17
: Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Short-stacked to start Day 1, Paul Bishow was looking for an opportunity to double up. He found it from the small blind, and raised $4,000 of his dwindling stack. The double up would be difficult, though, as the big blind was Yueqi Zhu, winner of one WSOP bracelet, 160 WSOP cashes for $3,238,023, and third place in last year's event.
Zhu called, and they took a flop of A♣Q♣8♣. Bishow check raised and Zhu called. When the turn came Q♦, Bishow bet all in, and Zhu matched the bet.
Bishow 4♣3♣
Zhu 5♠9♣
To complete the underdog double up Bishow would need to dodge another club, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he spiked the 2♥ on the river.
