Yu Sent Home Shy of Final Table

Level 8 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Winfred Yu
Winfred Yu

Winfred Yu opened the cutoff to 18,000 and found a lone call from James Obst in the big blind.

Obst checked the {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop as Yu pushed out a continuation-bet of 27,000.

The time counted right down to the very last second before Obst splashed the pot with a raise amounting to 61,000.

Yu paused slightly before moving all in with Obst quickly making the call.

Yu: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Obst: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

In a rather sick final table bubble cooler hand, the {10-Clubs} on the turn changed little as Yu would still need one of the last jacks in the deck to stay alive.

Unfortunately for Yu however, the {3-Spades} would land on the river to end his tournament in ninth place - just one spot shy of making the final table.
