Ben Yu Chops to Stay Alive

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Much like Jason Mercier, Ben Yu registered for the tournament late into day one and has only a small number of big bets. We caught up to him on sixth street moving all in against Anthony Zinno and one other player.

Yu: {x-}{x-} / {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} / {x-}
Zinno: {x-}{x-} / {J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} / {x-}

Yu moved in on sixth and was called by Zinno and one other player. On seventh, action went check, check.

Yu showed {7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for a seventy-six low. The other player shwoed {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for aces up and that was good as Zinno's hand was mucked. Yu chopped the pot with the other player and was able to gain a little traction late here on day 1.
