Yeh Trending Downwards

Former PokerNews employee Anthony Yeh started the day with 55,000 chips but is down to 38,000 after losing two hands in rapid succession. Yeh opened the first hand pre-flop to 1,050 and was called in four spots. He continued for 2,400 on a nine-high flop, {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Two players called to the {6-Spades} turn, a card that everyone checked. Everyone also checked when the board paired on the river, {9-Spades}. Yeh's unimproved {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} wasn't enough to win the pot when one opponent showed down {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

A few hands later Yeh called an 1,100-chip pre-flop raise sitting with the button. He called another 1,400 when his opponent continued on a flop of {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. That call seemed to concern Yeh's opponent; he checked and called a bet of 2,400 from yeh on the {3-Diamonds} turn. The river paired {3-Clubs} and again Yeh's opponent checked. Yeh bet 6,000, drawing a pained look and a "Wow," from his opponent. That player finally called with {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}, kings and treys. It was the winner.
