Wei Zhu

Action folded to Xiao Zhang who opened to 120,000 from the button, only for Wei Zhu to three-bet all in for 690,000 from the small blind. It came back to Zhang, who snap-called putting Zhu at risk.

Wei Zhu: 9 9

Xiao Zhang: A J

Zhu was ahead but needed to dodge plenty of outs to stay alive.

The flop of J A 2 was disastrous for Zhu and he needed help instantly.

When the Q peeled off on the turn Zhu picked up a flush draw, but the 2 river sealed the deal to send him to the rail in eighth place.
