Yao Run Over by Carlat's Aces
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Taylor Carlat opened to 50,000 in late position and got called by big blind Jiayi Yao to see a flop.
The dealer spread 5♣9♠J♦. Yao, after mulling things over, shoved all-in for around 290,000. Carlat instantly called putting Yao's tournament life at risk.
Jiayi Yao: J♠2♠
Taylor Carlat: A♠A♣
Yao let out a groan of frustration upon seeing Carlat's hand. He got on his feet but waited for the board to complete. The dealer finished the board with a K♦ turn and a 7♠ river. Having no chance to crack Carlat's aces, Yao quiet left the table and headed to the payout counter to claim his cash.
