Yu Out-Kicked by Tsuji

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Han Yu opened to 17,000 from under-the-gun and action folded all the way around to Yasuyuki Tsuji in the small blind. Tsuji three-bet shoved all-in and after a brief moment in the tank, Yu called.

Yu: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Tsuji: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Tsuji scored the double up. Yu is still healthy with a 40+ big blind stack.

"Again?" Metalidi asked, looking at the aces on the table.

The board came {5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Jiang doubled up.

"I like these," Jiang said, gesturing to the aces.

Tan Takes a Chunk From Hata

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We were drawn across the room by the sea of yellow chips we could see growing in the middle of a table. The pot amounted to about 220,000 and action was at the turn with {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts} spread beside the uncontainable mound of chips. Xuan Tan counted a bet of 150,000 and pushed it forward. Aymon Hata thought for a moment and folded.

Rabotkin vs. Yu

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Winfred Yu raised to 19,000 from early position and action folded most of the way around the table, pausing on Dzmitry Rabotkin on the button. He thought for a moment before three-betting to 50,000, getting a call from Yu.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and both players checked. They also checked the {k-Diamonds} turn, going to the river of {a-Clubs}. Yu led out for 37,000 and Rabotkin folded.

Jun Liu
Jun Liu

Jun Liu opened to 18,000 from under-the-gun, Ryan Yu three-bet to 47,000 from late position, and Liu made the call.

On a {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop, Yu continued for 46,000 and Liu check-called. The {8-Diamonds} was introduced on the turn and Liu checked again. Yu slid out a stack of yellow chips worth 100,000 and Liu moved all-in, having Yu covered.

Yu thought for a moment before depositing his cards in the muck.

Tens For Yu

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Yasuyuki Tsuji was the first player to throw chips in the middle when he raised to 18,000 from the hijack seat. Action then fell on Soichiro Kojiya in the cutoff and he called. Next up was Han Yu on the button and he pushed all in. Tsuji folded but Kojiya called.

Yu: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Kojiya: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The dealer delivered a board of {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Yu doubled up with his tens.
