Yu Triples as Alvarado Departs; Speed Bump for Bansal

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Ryan Yu moved all in for his last 23,500 and JC Alvarado did so from one seat over for 28,000. Ben Lai called and the rest of the table folded. While the trio turned over their cards, Yu said "I like my hand right now." after finding himself with two live cards.

Ryan Yu: {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Dario Sammartino: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Ben Lai: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Yu picked up an open-ended straight draw, which got there with the {A-Clubs} turn. Sammartino had a flush draw, but the {Q-Spades} river was a blank. Yu tripled up and Lai won the small side pot to eliminate Alvarado.

Raghav Bansal had built his stack further since the last break and just now had Van Sang Nguyen at risk with {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades} versus {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Nguyen however spiked the {7-Spades} on the flop and doubled to around starting stack.
