Yau Forces Serbu Turn Fold
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ionel Serbu opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was faced with a three-bet to 26,000 by Franck Yau in the cutoff. Action folded back to Serbu, who made the call.
On the K♦9♥10♣ flop, Serbu led out with a bet of 17,000. After some thought, Yau called.
The Q♠ rolled off on the turn, bringing one-card straight possibilities, and Serbu checked to his opponent. After thinking the spot through for a bit, Yau slid out a bet of 21,000, and Serbu quickly folded.
Yau showed A♣9♦ for a pair of nines, and Serbu nodded and tapped the table.
