Yu's Not Done Yet

Stud-8

Ben Yu was knocked all the way down to just 3,000 chips, but he's not done yet!

Bruno Fitoussi{x-}{x-} / {5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} / {x-}
Roland Israelashvili{x-}{x-} / {6-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{J-Clubs} / {x-}
Ben Yu{x-}{x-} / {Q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} / {x-}

Yu was all in right away for just 3,000 chips. Bruno Fitoussi had the bring in and Roland Israelashvili made the call. The hand was checked down till seventh street when Fitoussi bet. Israelashvili folded. Yu showed {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and got half the pot with his low. Fitoussi showed {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and took the high.

On the next hand Yu was all in again.

Ben Yu{x-}{x-} / {K-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} / {x-}
Bruno Fitoussi{x-}{x-} / {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{q-Clubs} / {x-}
Daniel Alaei{x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs} / {x-}

Daniel Alaei had the bring in and Fitoussi called. Yu called all in and the hand got checked down. Yu showed {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and won the pot.

"Go away vultures! There's no meat on these bones," Yu said with a smile as he's still by far the shortest stack left in the tournament.
