Yu's Boat Is Bigger

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

We picked up with the action on a board of {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} to find Ben Yu check-raise David Chiu. Chiu called to see the final card.

The {9-Hearts} struck the river and the exact river action was unknown, but after a series of bets and raises, Chiu tabled {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for queens full of nines. It turned out to be the second best hand, however, as Yu rolled over {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for queens full of aces. Yu dragged in the pot and is now sitting on about 38,000 in chips while Chiu has fallen to around 16,000.
