Yu Crack's Cavanaugh's Aces
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
James Cavanaugh led out for 75,000 from the big blind after the K♠6♥A♠ flop. Jianqiang Yu announced a raise in the cutoff, betting enough to put his opponent all in.
"I have top set and a straight draw, I guess I'm putting it in," said Cavanaugh as he made the call.
James Cavanaugh: A♣A♦J♦10♥
Jianqiang Yu: K♣K♦8♠2♠
Cavanaugh was in front after both players flopped a set, but the 3♠ turn gave Yu a flush. Cavanaugh could not improve on the J♠ river, ending his tournament run as Yu added to his growing stack.
