Xu Collects From Yanchao

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Yahui Xu
Yahui Xu

Zhao Yanchao is a player we've yet to mention, but he's definitely worth paying attention to. Yanchao first came to our attention when he enjoyed a deep run in last year's Suncity Cup Main Event, ultimately finishing 13th for HK$94,400 (~US$12,085) and his first ever cash.

We just caught him in a pot against Yahui Xu, where there was a {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} board in the middle. Yanchao had led for 1,500, only for Xu to then raise it to 4,100. After a minute of thinking Yanchao made the call, but mucked with a sigh when Xu turned over {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a rivered straight.

That puts on Xu on 36,000 and Yanchao on 34,000.
