Yau Still Short After Scoring a Triple
Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Henry Benamram under the gun shoved all in for 5,600,000. Richard Yau, with only 1,100,000, called. When action folded to the big blind, Eric Lisle, who covered everyone, asked for a count from Benamram, then called.
Richard Yau: K♦10♦
Henry Benamram: Q♥Q♣
Eric Lisle: 8♠8♣
Benamram caught a set on the K♣9♦Q♦ board, strengthening his lead. Yau's outs to improve also increased with a flush draw. Seeing his chance, he started calling for a diamond.
The 8♥ turn gave Lisle a set, but it didn't beat Benamram's. Finally, Yau cheered when the 6♦ fell on on the river completing his flush.
Yau scooped the main pot, while Benamram took the side pot.
