With bets on just about every street, Patrick Preston and Zhihao Zhang get to the river with their boards looking like this:
Preston: [x][x] / [5d][Kd][2h][3d] / [x]
Zhang: [x][x] / [Ac][6d][Ts][6c] / [x]
On the river, Zhang checks and Preston bets. Zhang calls and is all in. He shows [8s][8h][2s] in the hole, giving him two pair and Preston wins the pot with [9d][4d][2d] in the hole, giving him a flush.
Zhang hits the rail in fifth place and earns $1,540 for his finish. Preston wins the pot and extends his chip lead.
“Patrick is going to to be pretty hard to stop,” says Jason Somerville after the hand.
Patrick Preston – 1,030,000
