Yang Snaps Off Meads; Redding Sends Out Smith
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Spencer Meads bet 11,000 from the hijack on a board of 10♥8♠2♠A♦ and Chunyu Yang called in the big blind.
The river came the 5♠ and Meads moved all in. Yang snap-called for 44,500, and Meads could only show K♦Q♦ for a missed straight. Yang turned over A♠A♥ for top set to win the pot and double up.
At another table, Jason Smith had moved all in for 45,000 from the hijack and Mark Redding called in early position.
Jason Smith: A♣J♣ 
Mark Redding: A♦Q♦
Smith found himself dominated but picked up a flush draw on the 6♠4♣3♣ flop. The A♠ turn gave both players top pair, but Redding's queen-kicker continued to play after the 5♠ river to send Smith to the rail.
