Yen Forces Fold from Champlin

Kirk Brown

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jerry Yen opened to 525,000 from the cutoff with J♥2♥ and was called by Spencer Champlin on the button with Q♣8♣.

There were no other takers and the two went to the flop of A♣A♦4♦, which saw the action go check-check.

When the 8♥ appeared on the turn, Yen led for 600,000 and Champlin called with his eight.

The river fell the 2♦ and Yen fired again for 1,950,000, which did the job as Champlin laid down the winner to award Yen the pot.
