Yankov Wisely Checks Back the River

Tim Baker

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Weiran Pu made it 250,000 from the cutoff with Krasimir Yankov calling on the button, and Peng Chen defending his big blind.

Chen and Pu checked the K♥K♣5♠ flop, allowing Yankov to put together a bet of 165,000. Chen folded, but Pu called.

Pu check-called another bet from Yankov on the J♣ turn, this time for 425,000.

Both checked the 9♥ river and Pu won the pot with K♦9♦ for a rivered boat.
