Yao Doubles in the Blinds
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
The action folded around to Bixi Yao in the small blind who ripped all in for 230,000. Hong Pham wasted little time before calling from the big blind and was in a dominating position.
Bixi Yao: Q♦9♦
Hong Pham: K♦Q♠
The flop came 9♠4♠4♣ and Yao took the lead after spiking a nine on the flop. The 7♠ on the turn gave Pham the lone flush draw but the 4♥ on the river locked up the pot for Yao.
