Yang Runs Kings Into Aces to Set Up the Bubble
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Guodong Yang was already all in for around 150,000 as Martino Cito and Michele Fratini built a side pot on a flop of 5♠3♦9♣. Fratini then moved all in for 500,000 in middle position.
Yang began posing for photos as Cito tanked for a minute before mucking, later saying he had two jacks. Yang and Fratini waited for other tables to finish their hands before turning over their cards.
Guodong Yang: K♠K♥
Michele Fratini: A♠A♣
Yang had run into the ultimate cooler as the board ran out 9♦6♣ to send him out two spots off the money.
Play is now going hand-for-hand until there is one more elimination.
