Yepez Stays Alive with a Double
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Yanting Jiang opened to 600,000 from early position, which led to a call by Maurice Hawkins out of the small blind and Luis Yepez out of the big blind.
The flop came 2♦10♥K♦, and Hawkins checked his option. Yepez also checked, and Jiang opted to continue for 800,000. Hawkins folded, but Yepez was not in the folding mood as he check-raised all-in for 1,750,000 in response. Jiang called to put Yepez at risk.
Luis Yepez: K♦J♠
Yanting Jiang: Q♠5♠
Yepez was well in control with his top pair. The 4♠ sealed the deal in his favor as Jiang had no recourse to win the hand.
The inconsequential 8♦ hit the river as Yepez scored the double up.
