Sisler Somehow Survives
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aiki Yoshida opened to 2,000 from the cutoff and then called after Scott Sisler three-bet to 12,000 out of the small blind.
Sisler moved all in for a little under 30,000 on the 5♣3♥Q♠ flop and Yoshida made the call with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.
Scott Sisler: 7♠7♦
Aiki Yoshida: A♦Q♦
Yoshida had flopped well to leave Sisler's pocket pair drawing thin. The 9♥ turn changed nothing, leaving Sisler needing to find one of the two remaining sevens in the deck on the river. That is exactly what happened after the 7♥ completed the board to deliver a brutal beat to Yoshida while handing Sisler a full double.
