Zhao Runs Into State's Higher Straight
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
A massive pot of more than 600,000 was already in the middle as Adrian State and Cheng Zhao went heads-up to the river on a board of 10♣8♥9♠2♣4♦.
State, in the hijack, then moved all in and Zhao tanked for a moment before calling for his last 600,000 in the big blind. State turned over Q♠J♥ for the flopped nut straight and Zhao showed 7♣6♥ for a smaller straight before heading for the exit three spots short of the money.
