UTG, short-stacked “Mr. X” opened to 28,000, leaving himself with 3,000 behind. Zhizhi Peng then moved all in for 120,000, and once the decision was back on “Mr. X,” he made the call for his tournament life.
Zhizhi Peng: K♦Q♠
“Mr. X”: A♣3♣
“Mr. X” extended his lead somewhat on the K♠J♠A♠ flop, but the dream scenario for Peng to end today’s action with a royal flush was there. That would not be the case, but the 2♦10♦ runout was good enough. With a straight, she saw “Mr. X” off, and the remaining 13 players are now bagging their chips.
That wraps up today’s live coverage; thanks to everyone who’s been following along. The poker.pro editorial office will soon return with the Day 1c chip counts. The blog will go live tomorrow at 14:00 when Day 1d kicks off.
Zhizhi Peng: 160,000
“Mr. X”: 0
