Yamada Vanquishes Vankrey
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Short-stacked Ronda Vankrey moved all in preflop for her last 100,000 and chip leader Derrick Yamada made the call to put her tournament life at risk.
Ronda Vankrey: K♦9♣
Derrick Yamada: 2♦4♦
Vankrey and Yamada shared a laugh when he flipped his cards over and the dealer put out the flop of Q♥3♥6♠.
The 9♦ on the turn gave Vankrey a big lead with her pair but it's like she knew it was coming because she winced even before the river fell the 5♠ to give Yamada the gutshot straight.
"Aghhhh, nice hand," Vankrey sighed as the pot was pushed over to Yamada and she made her way to the exit.
