Yao Looks at One Card, Gets Aces
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Natan Chauskin raised from under the gun and Bixi Yao shoved from hijack for a few big blinds.
Bixi Yao: A♦A♥ 
Natan Chauskin: K♥10♦
"I only looked at one, really," said Yao when she realized she had been dealt the bullets.
Yao did stay alive as she improved to a full house on the 9♦A♠4♠5♦4♦ board, which gave her around six big blinds to work with.
