Zhang Grabs an Unlikely Double
Niveau 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Naoki Matsumoto bet 24,000 from under the gun and was shoved on by Yang Zhang in middle position for 128,000. Masato Horiuchi in the hijack made the cold call, while Matsumoto elected to fold.
Yang Zhang: A♣Q♣
Masato Horiuchi: A♦K♣
Zhang was an overwhelming underdog in the Big Slick versus Little Slick battle, but a queen on the flop on the board of Q♠6♠4♥J♠8♣ gave Zhang the double up.
