Yamada's Two Pair Takes It

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a flop of {4-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, an early position player checked to Derrick Yamada who bet 450. The third player in the hand called and the original player folded.

We were heads up to the turn which was the {10-Hearts}. Yamada slowed with a check and his opponent bet 600. Yamada stuck around and the board completed with the {J-Clubs}. Another check from Yamada prompted a 1,200-chip bet from his opponent. Yamada flat called and tabled {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for two pair. His opponent showed {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a busted straight before mucking his cards.

By scooping up this pot, Yamada has boosted his stack to about 24,000.
