Yao Doubles, Still Short
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Bixi Yao moved all in for her last 190,000 in early position and was called by Hong Pham in the hijack. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were tabled with Yao at risk.
Bixi Yao: K♥7♦
Hong Pham: 7♥7♣
The flop came K♦J♦3♣ and Yao spiked a king to take the lead. The 4♦ and 5♠ runout changed nothing and Yao doubled up, but still remains the short stack.
