Yuan Makes Pay Jump
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nicolas Godard opened with a raise to 100,000 under the gun. Action got round to Berkeley Yuan, who raised to 720,000, leaving just a single 5,000 denomination chip behind. Godard then put in a huge stack of blue 100,000 denomination chips to signify that he was willing to put Yuan at risk. On a pay jump, Yuan tanked until a clock was called, then carried on tanking until he had just a second left, then placed in his last chip.
Berkeley Yuan: A♥Q♣ 
Nicolas Godard: 7♠7♦
The A♣5♦Q♦ flop made Yuan's hand relatively tough to beat, and Godard wasn't able to do so as the J♣J♥ runout didn't give him a set.
