Firestone Gives Some Back

Philip Yeh and Bobby Firestone tangled again, and this time Yeh emerged victorious. Yeh called out of the big blind after Firestone raised preflop to 80,000. He called again when Firestone bet 100,000 on a flop of {2-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {7-Spades}. Both players checked through the {5-Diamonds} turn. That gave Yeh an opening to fire 300,000 when the river came {3-Clubs}. Firestone thought about briefly, then passed his cards in to the dealer.
