Back and Forth and Back Again
Level 30
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
There was a lull in the action after Thomas Ward doubled up, with many checks and very few river cards. On this hand, it was a lot of the same, with a preflop raise, a call, and then a series of checks...until the river.
The board read 
and Zhou Zhou put out a bet of 200,000. Ward shuffled his chips for about 30 seconds and then called.
Zhou showed 
for a pair of eights, which was good enough to take down the pot. That hand brought Ward down to below 3,000,000 chips.
