Bezhanyan and Yuan Play a Huge Pot
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Cedric Schwaederle recalled the action until the river in a huge pot between Aren Bezhanyan and Yilu Yuan.
There was an open from late position, which Bezhanyan called on the button before Yuan three-bet squeezed from the big blind. Only Bezhanyan called.
They went to a flop of 8♦Q♥7♠, where Yuan continued and Bezhanyan called.
Both checked the J♣ turn to the 2♠ river, where Yuan bet 250,000. Bezhanyan then shoved, which put Yuan to the test for his remaining 355,000. After thinking it over, Yuan eventually tossed in a chip.
Bezhanyan then revealed J♠9♠ for a pair of jacks, but Yuan held A♥J♥ for the same pair of jacks but with a better kicker.
