Zhiqiang Meng Bubbles Day 1D

Level 17: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Zhiqiang Meng

Hijack Zhiqiang Meng is now the one jamming for 56,000 and cutoff Fangwei Zuo goes for a spin.

Player	Hand	Chips
ZM Zhiqiang MengChina	A♥5♣ HJ	busted
FZ Fangwei ZuoChina	A♣6♣ CO	582,000(73 BB)

Big chop odds evaporate when the board drops 9♣ 9♥ 4♠ 3♣ T♥ that keep the kickers in play and sends Meng to the rail just short of punching a ticket to Day 2.
