Chan Picks Off Yeu

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Justin Chan opened to 11,000 and got three callers. Wei Hsiang Yeu was one of them, and he bet 21,000 when all three players in front checked to him on the {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop. Only Chan called. Chan check-called another 32,000 on the {6-Spades} turn, and he faced a final barrel of 54,000 on the {4-Spades} river.

Chan quickly called, and Yeu tabled {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for bottom pair. Chan had {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

A player was eliminated at another table, so the tournament has reached hand-for-hand play.
