Yates Cracks A Million
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
It has been a while since Matt Yates has had a million in chips, but he finally managed to crack the number again after this hand played out.
Yates raised to 46,000 from the button and John Waterman made the call from the small blind. The 
flop would see Waterman check and Yates fire out 76,000. Waterman then tanked before popping it to 152,000. Yates made the call and the two players would slow the action down as they checked on the 
turn and the 
river.
Yates: 
Waterman 
The pair of sixes for Yates would be too strong for the fives of Waterman, as the pot pushed towards Yates and his stack increased to over a million.
