"Appie" Doubles Through "Yamamoto"
Level 11
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
After each player had put in 125,000 preflop, "Appie" shoved in his remaining 85,000 on a flop of 9♦6♥2♦. "Yamamoto" called off and the players showed down.
"Appie": J♣10♦9♠6♠ 
"Yamamoto": A♣J♦K♠10♣
"Yamamoto" needed to go runner-runner to best "Appie", and the K♥ turn provided him with some outs. The 5♣ river bricked off, however, and "Appie" doubled up late on Day 1a.
