Yi Feng Zhang

Yi Feng Zhang limped on the button, and Siyu Ji announced all in from the big blind. The moment Zhang shoved a stack of chips forward for the call, Ji jumped out of her chair and shouted, “Yes!” With the call made, Zhang was fighting for his tournament life.

Yi Feng Zhang: K Q

Siyu Ji: A J

The floor exploded with both sides of the rail showing for cards. The only one who remained seated was Zhang, who quietly watched the flop.

The flop came Q 2 T , pushing Zhang ahead with a pair. The tension escalated as Ji shouted for an ace to fall, while Zhang’s rail fired back, urging the board to hold.

The turn 8 did not help Ji, but she erupted in celebration, hugging her rail as the A fell on the river, eliminating Zhang in runner-up position and crowning her the new APT Champion.
