Yosef Zeke is on the road for the Trailblazer Poker Tour and he is chipping away at the Flight E field in Event #2.
On blinds of 2,000/4,000/4,000, Tianhong Liu opened from UTG+2. Zeke and Cesar Vida defended their small blind and big blind respectively.
The flop came A♥9♥8♠. Action checked around. Zeke led out on the Q♠ turn for 12,500. Vida called and Liu folded. The J♣ brought 19,000 out of Zeke. Vida's cards hit the muck.
No showdown required for Zeke. He takes another pot and will likely win many more by the end of the night. 53 players remain with 34 finishing in the money and 21 returning for Sunday's Day Two Restart.
Zeke: +32,500
