Yokosawa Makes the Right Call
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Heads-up on a completed board of 5♣Q♠9♥5♥4♠ with about 150,000 in the middle, Alex Lynskey checked from the big blind and Masato Yokosawa bet 165,000.
Lynskey responded with a hefty check-raise to 650,000 — sending Yokosawa deep into the tank.
Yokosawa used up a couple of time extensions and then decided to look up Lynskey, who showed A♦4♣.
Yokosawa revealed Q♦8♦ for queens-up and was sent the pot.
