Yang Doubles Up
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With 23,500 in the pot, four players saw the flop of Q♦6♦5♠. Cary Katz and Bin Duan checked before Kai Yang bet the pot from the hijack. Paul Gunness called, which prompted Katz and Duan to get out of the way.
Yang thought Gunness had raised, so Yang ended up putting in his 34,700 total, and Gunness called.
Kai Yang: K♦Q♠Q♥3♥ 
Paul Gunness: A♥K♠K♥3♠
Yang was ahead with top set, but the 7♠ turn gave Gunness a flush draw. The 6♠ river may have completed Gunness' flush, but Yang improved to a boat to win the pot and double-up.
