Yu Forces Fold

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a heads-up board of {5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, the middle position player checked to Ryan Yu in the cutoff, who then bet 30,000 into the already bloated pot of 25,000. The bet was almost the amount of his opponent's remaining chips, so he was put to a tough decision.

After tanking for a good while, the middle position player eventually folded and Yu was pushed the huge pot to bring his count to 78,000.

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action started with raise from the player on the button. Florian Ribouchon, in the small blind, three-bet to 7,000 and it came back to the button who took a minute and called.

A paired flop {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} was revealed and Ribouchon continued for 5,000, paid by his opponent. Things heated on the {3-Clubs} turn. Ribouchon checked and his opponent announced all in, putting the French player at risk for his lasts 17,500. Ribouchon opted for the call and the cards were tabled:

Florian Ribouchon: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Ribouchon was in good shape for the double up with two pair, which he did after the {5-Spades} completed the board on the river.
