Hand #202: After hours of three-handed play a hand finally came that could very well determine the winner of this tournament.

. Two checks saw Zhou continue for 32,000, and then Antonios woke up with a big check-raise to 107,000. Tran quickly folded, and Zhou snap-shoved for 341,000.
Antonios let an expletive slip his lips before asking for a count. After a minute he dropped in some chips to create a monster pot.
Antonios: 
Zhou: 
Zhou was ahead with a pair of kings, but Antonios was drawing to a flush in addition to his ace. The 
turn have Antonios added straight outs, but it'd be the 
river that would give him the win. The river sent Zhou home in third place for AU$79,646, while Antonios takes a 6-1 chip lead into heads-up play.
