Runout Bails Pak Out

Stewart Morrison

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Lei Yu raised to 40,000 on the button, and Edward Pak defended his big blind.

After Yu continued with a bet on the 8♦Q♥4♥ flop, Pak check-raised to 125,000. Yu responded by moving all-in for 425,000, which Pak called.

Lei Yu: Q♠10♥ All in
Edward Pak: Q♦2♣

Yu looked set for a double-up, but the 8♣ turn and A♥ river came to Pak's rescue, and the two players chopped the pot.
