Yuan Triples with Ace-High
Level 19
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ivan Zhang raised to 80,000 in early position and Yilu Yuan jammed all in for 245,000 on the button. Marius Gierse flat-called in the small blind and Zhang came along as well.
The flop came J♣8♦3♣ and the two remaining players checked through to the 4♠ on the turn and the 9♥ on the river. Two more checks and all three hands were tabled. Gierse held K♠Q♠ while Zhang showed A♠5♣ for ace-high. However, Yuan held A♣7♣ and his seven-kicker actually played to give him a triple up.
