Yusuhara Gets Poker Tips from Massey

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Maki Yusahara opened to 1,200 under the gun. When action folded around to the button, Amy Houghtling called. Sandra Massey in the small blind joined in to see a flop.

The flop came Q103. Massey led out with 2,200. Yusuhara was the only one who called.

On the 5 turn, Massey kept the pressure with 1,500. Yusahara, looking a bit more cautious, called.

On the river 6, Massey shot out 3,500. Yusuhara, who only had 5,300 left behind, went into the tank. Finally, she placed one 5,000-chip for a call.

Massey tabled 109. Yusuhara let out a sigh of relief as she turned over JJ then said, "Scary!" Massey, started giving Yusuhara some poker tips as the younger lady, listening intently, scooped the pot.
