Zheng Surges Into the Lead
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Muhtar Taysi raised from under the gun to 800,000 and got a call from Xiaosheng Zheng on the button. Mario Colavita also called from the big blind.
When the flop came A?2?5?, Colavita checked and Taysi bet 500,000. Zheng then raised to 1,500,000, Colavita folded, and Taysi put in the call.
Both then tapped the table on the 4? turn and K? river, where Taysi showed 7?7? for a pair of sevens. Zheng, however, had the winner as he showed A?Q? for a pair of aces.
