Yamada Scores Knockout
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Just after the money bubble burst, Kohsuke Yamada moved all in for close to 100,000 from early position and a player next to act made the call for a bit less. The rest of the table got out of the way and the cards were on their backs.
Early Position: K♠10♠
Kohsuke Yamada: A♠9♠
Yamada was ahead preflop, and when the flop came 9♦8♥5♠, was still in the lead. The turn changed things when the K♣ rolled off, but when the river fell the A♥, it was the ace that saved the day for Yamada to win the pot and send his opponent to the payout desk.
