Yao Stood Tall
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Bixi Yao went all in preflop from the big blind with 1,485,000 chips. Cyril Darmouni quickly called, bringing an excited Yao out of her seat.
Bixi Yao: A♦A♠
Cyril Darmouni: Q♦Q♠
Not only did Yao have the better of Darmouni with the bigger pair, she also dominated his potential flush draws. The runout of 2♦2♠J♥3♣3♥ gave Yao the nice double-up.
