Bach Pays Yokosawa Off

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Masato Yokosawa
Masato Yokosawa

Heads-up on a flop of 4JQ with about 8,000 already in the middle, Masato Yokosawa bet 5,000 from the hijack and David Bach called on the button.

The 2 fell on the turn and Yokosawa barreled for 13,000. Bach again called.

Yokosawa sized up for a 26,000 bet on the J river, sending Bach deep into the tank.

Bach counted out 26,000 in chips and shuffled them in his hand as he contemplated his decision.

"I'm really not sure you have it," Bach said.

Yokosawa remained stoic and Bach eventually put his calling chips into the middle.

Yokosawa revealed AA and Bach offered a "Nice hand" before sending his cards into the muck.
