Yu Doubles

Razz

Desmond Portano: ({x-}{x-}) / {4-}{q-}{2-}{5-} / ({x-})
Ben Yu: ({x-}{x-}) / {7-}{10-}{j-}{8-} / ({x-})

We caught up with the action on fourth street, where Yu bet, and Portano called. On fifth, Yu check-raised all in for less than two bets, and Portano called.

Portano: {6-}{5-}
Yu: {2-}{3-}

Portano did not improve when he drew a {k-} on seventh, and despite pairing with another {j-}, Yu doubled to around 80,000 chips.
