Hand #67: Dario Sammartino raised to 1,300,000 from under the gun and Nick Marchington called on the button, as did Zhen Cai from the big blind.

The flop landed {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and after Cai checked, Sammartino continued for 1,800,000. Marchington folded, and Cai called as the turn fell the {a-Hearts}.

Both players checked as the {j-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Cai checked and Sammartino bet 4,000,000. Cai deliberated for several minutes before calling. Sammartino showed {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, but Cai collected the pot with {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Hand #68: Alex Livingston raised his button to 1,400,000 and Dario Sammartino called from the big blind. The flop landed {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and both players checked to reveal the {9-Hearts} on the turn.

Sammartino led out for 3,000,000 and Livingston called as the {4-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Sammartino bet 6,600,000 and Livingston called.

Sammartino tabled his {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a set, and Livingston folded.

Hand #69: Zhen Cai raised to 1,400,000 from the button and Dario Sammartino three-bet the small blind to 5,400,000. Cai folded.

Nível 35 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Garry Gates
Garry Gates

Hand #67: A walk for Robert Heidorn.

Hand #68: Henry Lu opened the action with a raise to 1,200,000 and Garry Gates called on the button, as did Hossein Ensan in the big blind. On the {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Ensan and Lu checked. Gates bet 1,000,000 to pick up a call by Ensan and Lu.

The {9-Hearts} followed on the turn and Ensan now led for 3,800,000. Lu reluctantly folded and Gates came along to the {3-Hearts} river. Ensan gave it some thought and checked, Gates made it 5,000,000 to go and Ensan folded.

Hand #69: Ensan limped from the small blind and Lu checked his option in the big blind. The {k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop barely showed up when Ensan had bet 600,000 and forced an instant fold from Lu.

Hand #70: Timothy Su opened to 1,300,000 first to act and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #71: Ensan min-raised to 1,200,000 in the cutoff and Lu three-bet to 2,700,000 from the button, Ensan called. On the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop, Ensan bet 3,000,000 and Lu called, which led to the {4-Clubs} turn. Ensan made it 8,500,000 to go and Lu reluctantly folded.

Zhen Cai Playing with the Support of 2018 Main Event Runner-Up Tony Miles

Nível 35 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Zhen Cai
Zhen Cai

Born December 1, 1983, 35-year-old Zhen Cai is a professional poker player from Lake Worth, Florida. Primarily a pot-limit Omaha cash game player, Cai is following in the footsteps of his good friend Tony Miles, who last year made a deep run in the 2018 WSOP Main Event ultimately finishing in second place.

“Good advice and just reassurance that everything is going to be fine,” Cai said of having his friend of eight years on the rail. “He’s someone else I can talk strategy with, not just basic strategy or poker strategy, but everything he had to go through last year.”

Miles has been on the rail for days sweating the action and plans to be there every step of the way.

“He’s a really good guy. One of my first coaches and mentors in poker,” said Miles. “It feels nice to be on the other side and share some wisdom, strength and hope. Just be there supporting him the way he was for me last year.”

In addition to Miles, Cai is supported by his wife, Jessica, who flew in late on Day 7, as well as his parents, sister, and other friends. And while he can’t be on the gaming floor, he’s also got the support of his 4-year-old son Chance, with whom he squared off against in a Father’s Day heads-up match.

Prior to his deep run in the Main Event, Cai had $101,151 in career WSOP cashes. In 2011, he won a $565 No-Limit Hold’em Event at the WSOP Circuit Harrah’s New Orleans for $33,753 and a ring. Other career highlights include winning the 2018 Lucky Hearts Open $2,200 PLO for $46,900 and finishing 28th in the 2015 WPT Borgata Winter Open for $12,980.

“Players are definitely getting way tougher right now,” said Cai, who attended the University of Florida where he studied advertising and psychology. “There’s a lot of things you have to think about at this stage. For the most part I’m just trying to play my best.”

How He Got Here

Key Hands

Cai was responsible for the elimination of perhaps the most famous player in the 2019 WSOP Main Event – former NFL star Richard Seymour. It happened on Day 5 when, in Level 25 (30,000/60,000/60,000), Seymour jammed the button for 725,000 and Cai called from the small blind.

Anuj Agarwal was in the big and tanked for two minutes before three-betting all in for approximately 2 million, which Cai snap-called. Seymour had shoved with king-four offsuit, Agarwal came over the top with ace-three suited, and Cai had them both beat with two red ladies.

Seymour actually took the lead on a king-high flop, but a queen on the turn locked it up for Cai, who more than doubled to 6.2 million.

Arguably the biggest hand for Zhen came on Day 6 in Level 29 (80,000/160,000/160,000) when Andy Hwang opened for 320,000 from the hijack and Cai shoved the button for 4.075 million. Thomas Parkes called from the big blind, Hwang got out of the way, and Cai found himself way behind with ace-five offsuit against pocket tens. Fortunately for Zhen, he received a reprieve when the flop delivered him two pair.

From that point on Cai steadily built his stack as the final table gets ever closer.

What to Watch For

Don’t let his lack of tournament results fool you as Zhen is a force to be reckoned with at the poker table, especially given his PLO cash game experience. That’s a game full of variance and big swings. Anyone who can deal with those likely has a great deal of patience, resolve, and a proclivity to persevere.

Zhen has shown a willingness to go full steam ahead in likely coinflip situations – such as when he called Preben Stokkan’s three-bet shove with pocket tens, which held against Big Slick – and also knows how to shift gears and trap when necessary, like he did when he dispatched Duey Duong in 19th place.

As for the type of player Zhen is, perhaps Miles has the best read.

“He’s a very good live player,” he said. “He's a sound theoretical player. He’s going to be able to exploit players based on live reads, betting patterns, things that are not going to come naturally to everyone.”

Livingston check-called 1.5 million on the {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop and they both checked the {j-Diamonds}. The river was a {10-Spades}, pairing the board. Livingston took the showdown for free with {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.
