Ermin Eliminated; Yu Scoops Large Pot to Take Lead
Level 5
: Blinds 0/0, 3,000 ante
Soon after redeeming the third and final bullet, Ivan Ermin was all-in once more. This time, two players went to war as Winfred Yu and Wei Hsiang Yeu also got in their bigger stacks to create a pot of nearly seven figures.
Ivan Ermin: A♥K♥
Winfred Yu: J♦J♥
Wei Hsiang Yeu: K♦K♣
The J♣9♠7♥ flop improved Yu to a set and the 9♥ turn made that a full house. Ermin was alive with his flush draw while Yeu had a single out to avoid a major blow. Nothing changed with the 9♣ river and Yu doubled through Yeu for 397,000 in the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
"All limped and there was a short stack," Yu mentioned when referring to what had just happened.
