Yates Triples with Set Over Set
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
David Shaw opened to 4,000 and then Kris Burchfield three-bet to 15,000, followed by an all in by Eric Yates and a bigger shove by Ned Pierce. Action folded back to Burchfield who called to put both players at risk and the heads are tabled.
Eric Yates: Q♥Q♠
Ned Pierce: 2♠2♥
Kris Burchfield: A♠J♦
The flop was especially brutal as it came out 6♣Q♦2♦ to give both Yates and Pierce a set, with Yates holding the upper hand.
The board ran out 9♠4♥ for Yates to scoop the sizeable pit for a big triple.
