Nay For Yea

Steve Yea's stack has been steadily moving south during the last couple of levels, losing another small pot after the dinner break. The hand in question started when a player opened the hijack to 2,600. Yea then three-bet to 6,700 from the button. With the rest of the table out of the way and a call from the player who opened, it was on to the {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. Both players checked here and then also checked the {8-Diamonds} turn.

On the {10-Clubs} river, Yea's opponent checked and after just a few moments, Yea fired out 11,200. A call would see Yea almost sigh as he flicked over {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. His opponent's {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} was strong enough to rake in the pot and Yea took another hit to his stack.
