Yau Triples, Then Busts the Very Next Hand
After losing a big hand, Ethan Yau was left with just 400 chips and found himself all in from the small blind. Action folded to Tyler Gaston in the cutoff, who raised to 2,400, but with no other takers, it went straight to showdown.
Ethan Yau: 5♣3♠
Tyler Gaston: 8♠8♦
It wasn’t the prettiest hand to be all in with, but the board ran out 2♦J♣5♦4♣6♣, giving Yau a surprise straight and keeping his hopes alive with a fresh 2,400 stack.
In the very next hand, Blaz Zerjav opened to 2,500 from the cutoff, and Yau, now on the button, moved all in once again. Everyone else got out of the way and it was time for another showdown.
Ethan Yau: K♦7♣
Blaz Zerjav: A♦K♥
This time there was no miracle. The board ran out J♠K♠5♣4♥Q♣, and Yau’s run came to an end as Zerjav’s superior king held strong.
