Set Versus Straight Benefits Linton, Busts Yerby

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

With three players seeing a turn of {3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}, it was Navas Robles betting 5,300 into Paul Linton in middle position and Jay Yerby in the cutoff. Linton had just called the 5,300 from Robles, but Yerby wasted no time moving all in for around 20,000.

Robles let his hand go fairly quickly and Linton snapped off the jam, covering Yerby.

Jay Yerby: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Paul Linton: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

It was a rough one for Yerby, who had flopped a set against Linton's turned straight. The {7-Diamonds} only gave Linton a 'mega straight' and busted Yerby after he failed to pair the board. Linton sits among the early chip leaders as we head into break.
