Yu and Phua Go to the River
Level 20
: Blinds 0/0, 100,000 ante
Winfred Yu limped in with the K♠7♣ and Paul Phua checked the 8♦7♦. Both hit bottom pair on J♣7♠6♣ and Yu check-called fo 250,000. After the Q♠ turn, Yu checked again and Phua bet 600,000 to claim the pot with the worse kicker.
Another limped pot followed soon after on which both players had a piece of the 9♥8♠7♣ flop. Phua bet 200,000 with A♦9♣ and Yu called with the 9♦8♦ for the top two pair, which brought them to the 7♥ turn.
Phua now checked and subsequently check-called for 550,000 as the 10♦ river completed the board. This time, they checked and Yu collected the pot.
