Runner-Runner Chops Pot
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Nick Guagenti opened to 22,000 from the middle position and was called by Andrew Becker from the hijack. Donald Yucius came along from the button, and Rocky Paradise joined the fray from the big blind to create a four-handed pot.
Paradise checked the Q♦A♥K♦ flop before Guagenti bet 38,000. Becker folded, but Yucius opted to shove for 65,000 more. Paradise got out of the way, and Guagenti called to put Yucius at risk.
Donald Yucius: A♣10♣10♦5♦
Nick Guagenti: A♣K♣5♠3♦
Guagente was ahead with his two pair, but Yucius was alive with plenty of outs.
The 4♦ turn was just what Yucius was looking for as he hit his flush, but the 2♣ river qualified Guagenti for the low with a wheel to chop up the pot.
