Yuan Sniffs Out Stoika's Bluff
Level 33
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Roman Stoika made it 4,000,000 from early position and Yilu Yuan defended his big blind.
The flop came down 10♠J♥4♠ and Yuan started out with a check. Stoika bet 3,500,000, and Yuan made the call.
Yuan led out for 6,500,000 when the board-pairing 10♦ hit the turn. Stoika made the call.
The 8♦ fell on the river and the Yuan checked. Stoika shoved for Yuan's remaining 15,400,000, causing Yuan to go deep into the tank. After using a few of his timebank cards, Yuan put in the call.
Stoika showed a busted straight draw with K♥Q♥, and Yuan earned the double-up with just a pair of jacks holding J♦6♦.
