Leung’s Crabs Eat Cowboys

It was Sahashi Hideki who got the ball rolling in this particular hand with a middle position open to 30,000 and the action folded around to Jun Wah Yap on the button, who popped it up to 90,000 to go.

Small blind Stanley Leung squeezed his hole cards and then shipped his last 170,000 in chips into the pot and the action was back on Hideki. The Japanese player did not look all that happy to have Yap – sitting on a heap of chips – still to act behind him and eventually made a grudging fold and the cards were turned over.

While Yap’s pocket kings were initially leading, Leung hit a set on the flop and improved to a boat on the turn. Leung’s crabs were sated after feasting on those cowboys and the Hong Kong player stacked up to 420,000, much to Yap’s displeasure and the Malaysian dropped down to 575,000.
