Zubov Puts Hu to the Test
Zhewen Hu opened to 9,000 from under the gun and was called by Daniel Rezeai from the hijack. Alexander Zubov and Kayhan Mokri also stuck around from the button and big blind.
Hu continued for 20,000 on the Q♣3♠2♥ flop and was called in all three spots to bloat the pot.
The action checked to Zubov on the K♥ turn, and he bet 45,000. This time, only Hu called.
Hu had 87,000 behind and checked the 7♠ river. Zubov put him all in and Hu went deep into the tank.
One time bank was passed to the dealer and four more followed as Hu thought over the river spot for three minutes. In the end, he called for his tournament life.
Zubov had K♦Q♦ for kings and queens, besting the A♦Q♠ that Hu held.
"Good turn," said Zubov to the dealer after Hu exited the tournament room.
