Level 17
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Since the redraw for the last two tables, Ben Yu and Yaniv Birman are sitting next to each other. They are in the epicenter of the vast majority of the pots, tangling with each other. Oftentimes, they make it all the way to the river. That was the case in the following hand.
Todd Brunson completed, Yu made it two bets and Birman fired a three-bet. Only Yu called and called on all following streets. Birman turned up trip kings, biting into Yu's stack again.
