Yeh Yeh Yeh

We approach the table at the turn stage and and Philip Yeh has just made a big bet that Richard Alm has called.

As the river comes out the board reads {6-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {3-Spades} {8-Diamonds}.

Phillip moves in for his remaining 80,000 and Alm calls but mucks when he sees Yeh's {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} for the rivered straight.

Yeh back up to 375,000
Alm down to 370,000.
