Stephan Three-Quarters Yass
Level 18
: Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Christopher Stephan raised from the small blind and Robert Yass called from the big blind.
The two players took a flop heads-up of A♣K♣8♦ and Yass check-called a bet from Stephan. The dealer peeled 2♦ on turn and things became a little more interesting, as this time Yass raised a bet from Stephan, which Stephan called.
Both players would check the 9♠ river and Stephan tabled A♠6♥5♠3♥ for a pair of aces and fifty-three low, and Yass showed 9♣5♦5♥3♦ for a pair of nines and the same fifty-three low, giving away three-quarters of the pot to Stephan.
