Yen Cracks Aces to Take Chip Lead

Level 8 : 300/600, 50 ante

We got to the table with a huge pot brewing between Alex Yen and Robert Pound on a flop of {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}. All the chips went into the middle and it was Pound at risk with his {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} against Yen who had flopped a set with his {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Pound would retake the lead on the {7-Spades} turn to give him the nut flush. The river would change all that, however, as it was the {2-Hearts} pairing the board and giving Yen a full house.

Pound, who had surged to the chip lead early with over five times the starting stack, quickly grabbed his things and exited the room, a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

Yen could only smile as he stacked the massive pot.
