Yeh But, No But

Anthony Yeh has suffered a massive disaster and busted out!

No, just kidding, he's taken a couple small hits but they've barely dented his enormous stack.

First off a gent pushed for just 1,775 in early position and Yeh called from the big blind without even looking at his cards. The short stack was dominating with {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} against Yeh's {2-Hearts} {8-Hearts} and failed to hit, and the short stack doubled.

A little later Yeh raised to 1,050 under the gun and the cutoff called, only for the small blind to push for 4,225. Yeh went over the top for 21,150, the cutoff folded and they were on their backs.

Yeh: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Small blind: {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Board: a most fortunate-for-the-short-stack {9-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds}

Nevertheless, Yeh is still on 69,000 and we have yet to find a stack bigger than his.
