Yang Pips Katz with a Better Pair
Level 8
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jack Roser opened to 24,000 in middle position and Cary Katz called from the small blind. Chongxian Yang three-bet to 104,000 from the big blind and Roser let his hand go. Katz, however, shoved all in and Yang called off his stack of 409,000.
Chongxian Yang: Q♠Q♦
Cary Katz: J♠J♥
The board ran out 10♣9♥4♣2♥2♦ and Yang's pocket queens were just enough to pip the jacks of Katz for a double up.
