Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Kirk Steele
Kirk Steele

The board read {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} with 95,000 in the middle already. Ryan Yu had checked in the hijack and Kirk Steele bet 60,000 from the cutoff. Yu called to see the river which was the {6-Diamonds}.

Yu quickly checked again for Steele to shove. Yu asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Steele had 85,000 behind. Yu took some time and then made the call. Steele tabled {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for the turned set of fives and Yu flicked his cards into the muck and paid up. The dealer also asked him for two time banks as he seemed to have used them during the hand.

Yilu Has the Higher Kicker

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Yilu Yuan has just taken his seat at the third table that was opened and some players have been moved there and got involved immediately.

Yuan raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Dong Chen three-bet to 16,000 on the button. Action folded back to Yuan who made the call.

They both checked through the {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop to the {8-Hearts} on the turn. Yuan check-called the 20,000 bet of Chen.

The river completed the board with the {j-Clubs} and Yilu checked again. Chen now bet 60,000 and Yuan made the call. Chen tabled {k-Spades}{5-Spades} for the pair of kings but Yuan showed {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} for the same pair of kings but the higher kicker to scoop the pot.

The flop came {3-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs} Yu check-raised the 4,000 continuation-bet of Kim to 12,000 which was called.

The turn brought them the {10-Clubs} and Yu fired 28,000 over the line which Kim called.

The {k-Clubs} completed the board and Yu barreled 125,000 over the line while Kim dived into the tank as he only had 96,000 left. After using three time banks, Kim called. Yu tabled {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the runner-runner flush, Kim looked resigned, shook his head, pushed his cards into the muck, and got up from his chair.
