Yau Bluffs Off a Big Chunk

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ethan Yau

With the pot already swelled on a flop of 8K2, Bradley Gafford, acting from the big blind, check-called a 40,000 bet from Ethan Yau on the button.

Both players checked the 6 turn, but on the 9 river Yau had other plans, firing off 155,000. Gafford thought for a while before eventually making the call, tabling KJ for top pair. Yau briefly showed Ax10x before throwing his hand into the muck.
