Yau Runs Up a Healthy Stack
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Logan Hoover raised to 2,200 and earned three callers including Ethan Yau in the small blind. The flop brought 9♥6♣4♦ and the action checked to Hoover, who bet 1,800. It folded back to Yau who went for a check-raise to 7,000 and Hoover came along for the ride.
Yau then led the K♥ turn for 14,000 but Hoover came back with a raise to 35,000 for Yau to call.
The 3♥ river was checked by Yau and Hoover tossed in a green T-25,000 chip for a final stab at the pot. Yau called and no showdown followed, as Hoover sent his cards into the muck.
Having started the day with a shorter stack, Yau has more than quadrupled the amount since.
