Ben Yu Chops To Stay Alive

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

We caught Ben Yu moving all in on a board of {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. He was called by one other player and the two went off to showdown.

Yu: {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The two players were holding almost exactly the same hand, but the other player had a flush draw and the edge in the hand because of it.

Fortunately for Yu the board rolled off {5-Diamonds} and {q-Diamonds} giving both players a straight to the king and chopping up the pot.
