Yamada Flushed with Chips
Action picked up on a flop of 8♥A♠5♥ with the under the gun player having gone all in pre flop for less than a big blind. The players in both middle position and the cutoff, as well as Lloyd Yamada on the button, were in a three-way side pot.
The middle position player bet 30,000 on the flop and the cutoff folded but Yamada made the call.
The 9♠ on the turn saw the middle position player check to Yamada who bet 40,000. Middle position made the call and the dealer put out the A♦ on the river. When checked to Yamada bet 125,000 and the middle position player folded and Yamada took the side pot.
Under The Gun: Q♣2♣
Lloyd Yamada: A♥9♥
After the at risk player turned over his hand Yamada took the main pot and the under the gun player headed for the rail.
