The flop came out 3♣8♠6♦ and Yamada continued for 225,000, which Holmes called.
On the turn 5♦, Yamada checked to Holmes, who bet 600,000 and Yamada called.
The river fell the J♠ and Yamada checked once more to Holmes, who then shoved all in for 1,129,000.
Yamada then went into the tank for almost a minute before he tapped the table and tossed his cards into the muck. and tapp
