Oh Yea!

We've just spotted Steve Yea in the field and he's wielding a big stack. In a small pot we watched as he raised under the gun to 400 with just the cutoff making the call.

The board of {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} was checked through until the river where Yea released 775. His opponent eyeballed Yea and quipped, "Is ace-high good?"

Yea replied, "Well, it depends on your kicker!"

We didn't get to find out as the cutoff folded and Yea added to his stack which is now close to 23,000.
