Ryan Yu Takes It with River Bet
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
With around 2,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, Ryan Yu bet 900 from the small blind and 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe Cada called from the big. The under-the-gun player folded, the UK's Stephen Thirlwell came along from middle position, and three players saw the 
river.
Yu bet again, this time 2,500, and it did the trick as both Cada and Thirlwell folded. Despite losing out on that pot, Cada is still up a bit from the starting stack.
