Ryan Yu Takes It with River Bet

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With around 2,000 in the pot and a board reading {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, Ryan Yu bet 900 from the small blind and 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe Cada called from the big. The under-the-gun player folded, the UK's Stephen Thirlwell came along from middle position, and three players saw the {6-Clubs} river.

Yu bet again, this time 2,500, and it did the trick as both Cada and Thirlwell folded. Despite losing out on that pot, Cada is still up a bit from the starting stack.
