Double For Yu
It’s getting to push or fold time for some of the remaining High Rollers as the blinds continue their inexorable rise. One player who that’s working out for is Chung Yuan Yu, who has just earned himself a double up courtesy of James Chen.
We missed the pre-flop action but arrived in time to see the stacks being counted down. Yu and Chen had got all the chips in pre-flop with Yu’s pocket jacks leading Chen’s pocket tens. The flop had come down jack-high to give Yu top set and the double and he climbed to just under 100,000 while Chen dropped to a little over 70,000.
Over on table three Yuan Li and Wang Zuo became involved in a pre-flop raising war with Zuo the man to pull the trigger first and move all-in for 97,500 in total from the big blind, over the top of a 14,000 Li raise.
Li looked sorely tempted but decided to let it go, however, leaving Zuo to rake in the pot without even seeing a flop.
