Acevedo Hits the River to Eliminate Yang
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Moments after Dinesh Alt's elimination from the table, Haiyang Yang jammed for 360,000 from the small blind and Michael Acevedo called in the big blind.
Haiyang Yang: Q♣J♥
Michael Acevedo: 10♦7♦
The flop was A♥2♦2♥ followed by the 3♦ turn which opened a flush draw for Acevedo. But he didn’t need a fifth diamond to win, as the 7♥ river put him in the lead to eliminate Yang.
