Zhong Catches A Break

We rushed over to Table 1 after noticing Kun Zhong jumping for joy after taking down a pot.

The details of the hand was relayed back from tournament staff who said that Zhong moved all in for his remaining 8,350 with :::ac:::7c on a :::6x:::9x:::tx flop. But Zhong would need a lot of help as he was called by Gareth Pepper who held pocket aces.

A repeat :::6x was not was Zhong was looking for on the turn, however the :::8x on the river was. An unlikely straight was enough to see the Chinese player take down the pot to stay alive in the tournament.

Kun Zhong	17,000	17,000
Gareth Pepper	8,800	8,800
