Du Scores a Knockout

Herbie Teope

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action picked up on a board showing 10♥A♣5♦3♣ in a hand between WSOP bracelet winner Yue Du and David Graham.

Graham moved all in for his remaining stack, and the action put Du in the tank.

Du methodically shuffled a small stack of his chips while studying the board. He then asked the dealer for a count of Graham’s all-in bet, which the dealer confirmed as 9,800.

Du then leaned back in his chair and continued to look at the board. He then peeked down at his card before making the call.

David Graham: K♣10♣ All in
Yue Du: A♠8♠

Du’s pair of aces were ahead of Graham’s pair of tens, but Graham had outs to the river. None of them arrived, however, as a blank hit fifth street and Graham exited the tourney area.

Yue Du	145,000 41,000	41,000

The 9♠ turn saw Mandalapu bet again, this time pushing 5,000 into the middle. As before, Barriga made the call.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Sergio Castelluccio opened to 800 from early position and was called by the player on the button. Shannon Shorr squeezed to 4,500 from the small blind and only Castelluccio called.

Castelluccio called a 2,700 bet from Shorr on the 8♣4♦4♥ flop and a 6,800 bet from Shorr on the Q♦ turn.

The 7♠ completed the board and Shorr bet approximately 20,000, leaving himself a single 100-denomination chip behind. Castelluccio quickly called and Shorr could only show A♣K♦.

Castelluccio turned over 8♦8♠ for a flopped full house and was sent the massive pot.

Shorr was eliminated shortly after the hand.
