"Always on the River"; Verderamo Flips Yang to the Rail
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nicholas Verderamo raised to 26,000 in the cutoff, Chun Yang moved all in for 240,000 in the big blind, and Verderamo called.
Chun Yang: 5♣5♦
Nicholas Verderamo: K♥Q♥
Yang remained in the lead on the J♥3♥6♦ flop, but Verderamo picked up a flush draw to go with his overcards. The turn was the 4♣, and Verderamo spiked the K♣ on the river to win the pot and send Yang to the rail.
