Gin for Yin
Simeon Spasov opened to 500 from early position before Derek Whitt called from the next seat over. Yuzhou Yin joined the fray with a call on the button before Yong Lee opted to increase the price with a three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind.
Spasov folded, while Whitt and Yin called.
The J♠10♠5♥ flop prompted a check from Lee before Whitt bet 11,000. Yin gave it some thought before he put in the call, while Lee discarded his hand with a fold.
Whitt asked for a count before he put out enough to put Yin all in on the Q♥ turn. Yin slid in the call, and the two went to a showdown with Yin at risk for 34,500.
Yuzhou Yin: 9♦8♠
Derek Whitt: 5♣5♦
The turn was a disaster for Whitt, and Yin hit his straight to take the lead, but Whitt was far from down and out with a chance to improve to a full house or quads on the river.
That did not come to pass as the river was the 8♣ to award Yin the large pot.
