Neng Zhao raises to 60,000 from under the gun and John Perry defends the big blind. Perry check-calls the Club QClub 10Heart 3 flop and does so again for 135,000 on the Diamond 5 turn.

The Spade 7 appears on the river and Perry checks with around 210,000 behind. Zhao bets 350,000 and Perry uses two time bank extensions while glancing over at the tournament info.

Ultimately, Perry calls with the Club ADiamond 10 and falls to Zhao’s Spade KDiamond K to become the second casualty of the day.

Neng Zhao – 2,145,000 (72 bb)
