Yu Hits and Shuts Down
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche opened to 8,000 in early position and Lei Yu three-bet to 23,000 in the cutoff. Nitsche called and they went heads-up to a flop of J♣7♠4♠. Nitsche checked to Yu who continued with a bet of 17,000 and Nitsche called.
The turn brought the A♣ and both players checked to the Q♣ on the river. Nitsche checked once more and Yu opted to check it back. Nitsche tabled 9♠9♥ but Yu held A♥K♥ for top pair to win the pot.
