Big Pot for Former Golden Gates Champ
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Reza Yazdi, who won this very event one year ago, opened for 800 from middle position and Chuck Tipton three-bet to 2,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Yazdi, who called to see a 
flop. Yazdi proceeded to check-call a bet of 4,000, and then checked the 
turn. Tipton bet 8,000, Yazdi moved all in, and Tipton called off for just a bit less.
Tipton: 
Yazdi: 
Yazdi flopped trip nines to pull ahead of Tipton's queens, and he held when the 
blanked on the river. Tipton immediately made his way to the registration desk to reenter.
