Ermin Takes First Pot of The Day
Level 16
: Blinds 0/0, 6,000 ante
Hong Wei Yu limped from under the gun and John Juanda made the call in middle position. Ivan Ermin checked his option on the button and the flop fanned out A♠10♣8♦.
Yu led out for 35,000 and both Juanda and Ermin called. The 10♥ hit the turn and all three players checked to the Q♥ river. Yu checked and Juanda sized to 65,000. Ermin made the call and Yu got out of the way.
Juanda tabled J♣9♦ for a queen-high straight, but was no good when Ermin rolled over K♣J♦ for the king-high straight to scoop the first pot.
