Level 16 : 2,500/500, 500 ante

Iori Yogo and James Broom have just collided in a huge preflop clash as this ANZPT Perth Main Event continues to steamroll towards a final table.

The hand started with an open from a player, at which point Yogo flat-called from the button. Broom three-bet to 27,500 from the small blind, the opener got out of the way, and Yogo added another 52,500 to the bet with a four-bet. With the action back on Broom he went deep into the tank. With his cap pulled down low, Broom studied his opponent for a good three or four minutes before announcing himself all in. Yogo instantly called and Broom wasn't pleased.

Broom:
Yogo:

Broom would need an ace but the board fell to miss both players and leave the queens to double up. The total of Yogo's stack was 361,000, for a huge double up into the chip lead, as Broom was left with 125,000.
