Tarango Sends Yu Out
Level 9
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ben Yu began the hand wth a raise from under the gun to 11,000. He was called by Billy Tarango on the button to send them to a flop.
Yu checked the 8♠7♣3♠ flop. Tarango decided to bet 11,000, but then Yu raised pot to 78,000. Tarango announced all-in, and Yu called to send them to a showdown.
Ben Yu: 8♣7♥6♣4♥
Billy Tarango: K♠K♣Q♠7♦
The board ran A♥ on the turn to keep Yu in the lead, but the J♠ on the river gave Tarango a king-high flush to send Yu out of the tournament.
