Yamase Takes Out Turner
Level 3
: Blinds 0/0, 300 ante
With players heads up on a board reading A♥K♦9♣ and about 8,000 in the pot, Kenji Yamase bet 6,000 from middle position and was called by Jon Turner on the button.
The turn came the J♦. Yamase moved all in with a covering stack and Turner made the call to put himself at risk.
Jon Turner: K♠Q♥
Kenji Yamase: A♣J♠
"I have outs," Turner said as the river came the 6♦. "That's not one of them."
Turner, who will have the option to reenter for the first nine levels of the tournament, was sent to the rail while Yamase took down a sizable early pot.
