Trapped Aces End in Elimination by Yau
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Ethan "Rampage" Yau raised to 3,000 from early position and was called by a player in the big blind.
The player in the big blind lead into Yau for 5,000 on a 4?3?7? flop and Yau put in a raise big enough to commit the player all-in, which was called.
Big Blind Player: A?A?
Ethan Yau: A?9?
Yau was behind the slow-played aces of the player in the big blind, but could take the lead with any of the nine remaining spades in the deck, to which he didn't have to wait long, as the dealer rolled over the 5? on the turn.
The K? on the river was inconsequential and the player in the big blind would head for the rail.
