Runner-Runner Set For Yau

Chipleader of her table, Cindy White limped in middle position. The player on the cutoff raised to 3,500, and he was called by Richard Yau in the big blind and by White.

All three players checked on the flop 9♥10♥8♠. But on the 3♠ turn, Yau took the lead by betting 4,500. His two opponents called to see the river 3♣.

With a pair on the board, Yau made another bet of 7,000. White snap called, and the cutoff folded.

"Sorry," said Yau when he showed 5♦3♦ for a set. In response, White simply mucked her cards, remaining above 200,000 chips.
