Level 3 : 400/800, 100 ante

Eric Yates raised under the gun to 2,000. Grantland Hillman was next to act and made it 5,600 to go. It folded to Uke Dauti, who went all in for 69,600. It folded back around to Yates, who went into the tank before making the call. Hillman gave it up, and the players showed their cards.

Yates: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Dauti: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

This race went from a 50-50 to a slam dunk win for Yates when the flop came {j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. The meaningless turn and river were the {8-Diamonds} and {6-Clubs}, and Yates scooped the huge pot to up his stack to 150,000.
