Yu and Li Double, Petrangelo Takes One From Bansal

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

There have been two near simultaneous double-ups on the two remaining tournament tables within seconds of each other.

For the first it was Ryan Yu and Yang Wang battling it out with Yu the man to pull the trigger first after becoming embroiled in a raising war with Wang. Yu moved all-in pre-flop for 175,000 in total and Wang made a speedy call.

Ryan Yu: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Yang Wang: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Despite holding a dominated hand Yu spiked his jack on the {8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop with the {9-Clubs} turn and the {2-Clubs} river completing the hand to grant the Canadian player the double to 363,000 while Yang dropped down to 240,000.

Over on the other table we arrived in time to see Shou Li check-raise all-in over the top of a Xiaoyang Luo 50,000 turn bet on a board reading {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} {j-Hearts}.

Luo asked for a count – Li had 270,000 – and did not take too long to make the call and the cards were turned over.

Shou Li: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Xiaoyang Luo: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Li must have felt good about the hand when he discovered he already had the hand locked up with a set of tens and he climbed to 675,000 while Luo dropped to 270,000.

Shortly after this Raghav Bansal and Nick Petrangelo played a sizable pot with Bansal the initial aggressor, opening the action with a middle position raise to 24,000.

Petrangelo made the call from the small blind and checked the {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop over to Bansal, who thought it over for 15-seconds or so before continuation betting for 23,000.

The US player then check-raised to 73,000 in total to send Bansal into the tank for 20 seconds before the Indian player decided to make the call and the {5-Diamonds} hit the turn.

Both players checked and the {k-Clubs} river completed the hand before Petrangleo led for 167,000.

Bansal thought it over but eventually let it go.

“Show the bluff,” Bansal told Petrangelo, who obligingly flashed him the {a-Diamonds} before raking in the pot to climb to 650,000 while Bansal dropped a little to 1.1 million.
