Yang Wins With the Kicker
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
The button moved all in for around 975,000 and got a call from Hai-Li Yang in the small blind.
Button: A♦8♦
Hai-Li Yang: A♣K♠
Yang was just ahead and things stayed that way on the A♠A♥5♦ flop as both players sat with trip aces but Yang with the king kicker. Although there was a small sweat of a backdoor flush draw for the button.
The J♥ turn and 10♦ river sealed the buttons bustout and Yang scooped the pot.
