Yang Survives with a Double
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Phatseluck Yang opened to 20,000 from early position before Babe Prescott made the call from the cutoff. Jedidiah Hoffman came along after he defended his big blind to create a three-handed pot.
The flop came 5♠7♦3♣ before Hoffman fired 35,000. Yang shoved for his remaining 60,000, which led to a fold from Prescott. Hoffman called to go to a showdown against Yang, with Yang at risk.
Phatseluck Yang: Q♥Q♣
Jedidiah Hoffman: 10♦10♠
Yang held on the A♠ turn and the 3♠ river to secure the double-up and avoid elimination with one player to go before bagging.
