Yea Triples Up
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Steve Yea had gone all in preflop from the small blind for 22,500 and was looked up by both Fouad Rabahie in the big blind and Samantha Abernathy under the gun, who also created a 25,000 side pot in the process.
Rabahie then shoved when the Q♥J♥7♠ flop fell, forcing Abernathy to save the 60,000 chips she had behind and create a heads up showdown.
Steve Yea: K♥K♦
Fouad Rabahie: A♣Q♣
Yea's kings held on the subsequent 8♣10♦ runout and he secured a big triple-up. Rebahie, meanwhile, shipped the side pot to minimize his losses and stayed above the 100,000 mark.
