Bayarkhuu Batbayar

Viktor Yugay opened to 500 from under the gun and Bayarkhuu Batbayar called in the cutoff, which Zhuoqun Zhang shoved all in for 3,600. Only Batbayar made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Bayarkhuu Batbayar: 8 8

Zhuoqun Zhang: Q Q

Zhang was in good form to take down a double-up; however, the dealer sent him the bad news on a flop of T 4 8 , improving Batbayar to a set.

Zhang still got a chance to stay alive, but the J turn didn’t provide him with any help.

One queen can save Zhang’s tournament life, yet the river let him down as it revealed a board-pairing T , giving Batbayar even a full house and seeing Zhang out.
