Yu Plays It Cautiously

Level 21 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ben Yu opened to 150,000 on the button with {k-Spades}{5-Spades} and Brian Rast flat-called in the small blind with {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. The flop came {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {3-Diamonds} on the turn.

Rast led out for 275,000 with his straight draw but Yu wasn't going anywhere with top pair. The {q-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and both players checked it down. Yu took down the pot with the bigger pair as he moved to second in chips.
