Ruan Check-Jams the River
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Dean Ruan from under the gun and Raymond Yee from middle position were heads-up to the turn with the board reading J♣4♦3♦6♥ with 3,500 in the middle. Ruan led for 2,700 before Yee raised to 8,100 and Ruan put in the call.
On the K♥ river, Ruan checked it over to Yee who bet a substantial 14,000 with 24,000 behind. Ruan did not take long before he announced all-in as the covering stack, forcing Yee to give up his hand after a small tank.
"First one with two green [25,000] chips!" joked a tablemate.
Ruan replied, "It's easy when you river top set."
