Yamada Moving Up
Level 26
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
On a heads-up completed board of 8♣9♣4♥J♥10♠, there were close to a million chips in the middle when Johnny Groat checked over to Derrick Yamadawho then promptly moved all in for 1,200,000.
Groat then went deep into the tank to consider his options, and after around a minute, he set out a stack to make the call.
He was then shown 7♥9♥ by Yamada for a rivered straight while he disheartedly flipped over 8♠9♠ for two pair that was no longer good.
He shook his head as the huge pot was pushed Yamada's way to move him into second place while he was now the short stack.
