Xiao Zhang

Masatoshi Minowa limped from the button and Xiao Zhang raised to 850,000 from the big blind. Minowa three-bet all in and had Zhang covered, who snap-called.

Xiao Zhang: A 4

Masatoshi Minowa: A 9

Zhang was dominated but did have a slim chance of a chop if the cards fell his way.

Nothing changed on the 2 8 2 flop but it did open up the chop. The 7 turn changed nothing and when the J peeled off on the river Zhang was sent to the rail in second place.
