Yim Survives for His Tournament Life
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Chaechon Yim was in the small blind when Tony Lam raised from under the gun to 20,000. Yim saw this as his opportunity to pick a hand and go for it so he three-bet all in for 37,000. Lam made the call.
Chaechon Yim: K♣J♠
Tony Lam: A♣10♥
After the flop of A♠6♣10♣, Yim began calling for a queen and the dealer obliged with a Q♥ on the turn and a 5♥ on the river which gave Yim a much needed double up and a save from being eliminated.
