Yang Blasts His Stack Into Trips

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev raised to 25,000 in the cutoff, and Xu Yang and Ehsan Amiri called in the blinds.

The pot seemed to progress fairly passively, as the trio checked through the 9♠3♠5♦ flop and 7♠ turn.

However, Yang promptly jammed all in for 180,000 on the 7♥ river. Amiri called before Madanzhiev moved out of the way.

Yang burst out laughing as he tabled 8♣2♣ for pure air. Amiri had rivered trips with 10♠7♣, and he laughed along as he raked in Yang's stack.
