Alan Zhu came into Day 2 with the big stack, but it wasn’t smooth sailing for him. He was up and down throughout the day and, while he wasn’t ever on the short stack, he was down to just a few hundred thousand a couple of times.
In the end, he was dialed in for the whole day, knowing when to fold and when to put the pressure on. In the endgame, he really turned it on. He got a bit of a cooler against Mike Malm when Malm flopped top pair with the best kicker, but Zhu had two pair. Malm turned the flush draw as well but bricked the river to send the pot to Zhu.
In the final hand, he flopped top pair against second pair for Kris Steinbach. Steinbach turned flush and straight draws, but bricked the river, and Zhu’s top pair held. This is Zhu’s first recorded win in only his fifth cash on Hendon Mob.
