Abdulzahra Puts Yates to the Test
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ali Abdulzahra opened to 10,000 in middle position and Aaron Yates defended his big blind.
Both players checked the Q?6?9? flop, with Yates then leading out for 11,000 on the 8? turn. Abdulzahra called and the dealer completed the board with the 10? river.
Yates sized down to 5,000 but was quickly facing a decision for the rest of his stack once Abdulzahra moved all in. Yates took some time before letting his hand go, with Abdulzahra raking in the chips.
