Yokosawa Claws Some Back
Level 28
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
The action was joined with 26,000 already in the pot, and a 4♠7♥6♦ board face up on the felt.
Holding 9♣8♠, Justin Saliba checked, and Masato Yokosawa checked behind with his 8♥4♥. The A♦ turn was added to the board, where they checked again.
Saliba took the opportunity to bet on the 4♣ river, leading out for 23,000, but was met with aggression when Yokosawa raised to 69,000. Saliba wasted little time folding.
