Yan Gets Creative

''earthquakex'' raised to 2,070 from middle position and received calls from ''1_Stamf0rd'' on the button, David "MissOracle" Yan in the small blind, and ''Naveja8'' from the big blind.

The flop of 4♦10♣6♦ was checked by the quartet of players before Yan led for 2,931 when the 6♥ turn fell. ''Naveja8'' and ''earthquakex'' folded, but ''1_Stamf0rd'' was not going anywhere and made the raise to 9,243. Yan responded with a massive three-bet to 39,150 and ''1_Stamf0rd'' made the call.

The Q♥ river completed the board, and Yan took his foot of the pedal with a check. ''1_Stamf0rd'' followed suit and Yan could show nothing but 5♦3♦ for some missed draws. The trips of ''1_Stamf0rd'', who tabled 8♠6♠, were enough to rake in the big pot, and he soared above two starting stacks.
