Yates Triples with Set Over Set
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
David Shaw opened to 4,000 and then Kris Burchfield three-bet to 15,000, followed by an all in by Eric Yates and a bigger shove by Ned Pierce. Action folded back to Burchfield who called to put both players at risk and the heads are tabled.
Eric Yates: Q?Q?
Ned Pierce: 2?2?
Kris Burchfield: A?J?
The flop was especially brutal as it came out 6?Q?2? to give both Yates and Pierce a set, with Yates holding the upper hand.
The board ran out 9?4? for Yates to scoop the sizeable pit for a big triple.
