Yuan Busts and Mcadam Storms Ahead

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Yilu Yuan
Yilu Yuan

Robert Mcadam open-raised to 6,500 from early position and picked up a call before Yilu Yuan three-bet to 11,500 from the button. Mcadam moved all in and Yuan called with the shorter stack. He was at risk as players revealed their hands.

Yilu Yuan: A♣Q♥ All in
Robert Mcadam: 9♥9♠

Yuan couldn't find any part of the board, which ran out 10♠6♦J♥3♠7♠, so Mcadam held with his pocket nines to win a huge pot and near-double his stack. Yuan, who came third in the $2,200 Global Poker Championship at the start of the series, was sent to the rail.
