Yang Picks The Wrong Times to Shove on Hamnett

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Benjamin Hamnett
Benjamin Hamnett

Heads-up on a flop of 1094, Benjamin Hamnett bet 13,000 from the button before Peng Yang raised to 46,500 in early position.

Hamnett called and the 7 fell on the turn. Yang then moved all in and Hamnett snap-called for his last 108,000. Yang could only show 64 for a pair of fours, while Hamnett turned over 1010 for top set.

The river was the A and Hamnett doubled up, leaving Yang on an extreme short stack near the end of the night.
