Zheng Joins Chip Leaders
Last year’s Irish Open winner Weijie Jervi Zheng has been on a roll on Day 2 of the Main Event, increasing his already table-leading stack just now at the expense of Yiannis Liperis, also in the top 15 in chips. We caught the action on the turn, the board lying [8c3s6dKs]. Liperis checked; Zheng bet 425,000. Liperis made the call.
The river paired the board with a spade: [6s]. Liperis checked again, and Zheng reached deep, betting 1,700,000. Liperis thought for a while, counting out the call and setting it aside, but eventually opted for a fold.
