The Sun Shines on Yedalian

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Brandon Sunshine was in the hijack and bet for an unseen amount on a board of 8♥2♠4♦K♠. Sevag Yedalian was on the button and made the call, and the two had now created a pot of over 100,000.

The K♣ river was anti-climatic, however, as both players now checked. Sunshine tabled Q♥10♥ for just queen-high and Yedalian showed A♣8♦ for a pair of eights in response. Yedalian raked in a nice pot and he plays almost double the average.

Brandon Sunshine	790,000 17,000	17,000

Kyte Makes a Big Fold as Quattlebaum and Kyburz Squabble

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Aubrey Kyburz raised from early position and John Quattlebaum flat-called from the button. Jon Kyte sat in the big blind and made a three-bet to 40,000, after which Kyburz jammed all in, covering both Quattlebaum's 200,000 stack and Kyte's smaller one.

Quattlebaum then called and Kyte looked at his cards with a grimace on his face. He spent a while thinking over his decision before ultimately folding his A♥K♠ face up. Thereafter, the other two hands were also tabled.

John Quattlebaum: K♠K♦
Aubrey Kyburz: Q♠Q♥

It turned out Kyte made a good laydown as he would have been dominated by Quattlebaum's kings. The board ran out low with 6♥2♣9♥7♠5♦ and Quattlebaum received a big double-up as a result, while Kyburz is also still in the plus on the day.
