Yu Busts Opponent

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Xiao Yu had raised all in pre-flop. Action folded around until he got a call.

Yu held {k-}{k-} which dominated the {j-}{j-} of his opponent who had just started to eat the food he had brought to the table after break.

The board was clean for the kings when it ran out {6-}{4-}{2-}{4-}{q-} to bust the player holding jacks. "I didn't even get to eat my food" he said as he got up from the table, with rice bowl in hand but no chips.
