Zheng Makes a Move, Gets Caught
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Ewen Trevidy opened his cutoff to 32,000 before Jie Zheng pushed his 355,000 stack in the middle from the button. Robert Spano was in the small blind and made the call for his own stack of 201,000.
Trevidy thought about it for a bit but eventually decided that this was too much action for his hand and the other two players revealed their cards.
Robert Spano: A?K?
Jie Zheng: Q?4?
Zheng smiled as he turned over his hand, seemingly having tried to put pressure on Trevidy's open with a subpar holding. Spano took full advantage of the situation as he made a full double and then some on the board of 8?8?8?9?3?, while Zheng was left with fewer than ten big blinds.
