Newhouse Bops Zhang
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Atsuhito Kita opened to 35,000 from the cutoff, before Mark Newhouse three-bet to 100,000 from the small blind. Zilong Zhang decided to risk it all with a four-bet all in for approximately 185,000. Kita folded, but Newhouse made the call to put Zhang at risk.
Zilong Zhang: A♦J♠
Mark Newhouse: Q♦Q♣
Newhouse flopped a set on the Q♠K♠9♠ runout, but Zhang was still drawing live with outs to a flush.
The J♣ turn was not what Zhang needed, and the A♥ river was not enough to keep Zhang in contention as Newhouse's set held to knockout Zhang.
