Yoon Mounting a Chip-and-a-Chair Comeback

David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Brian Yoon managed to triple up shortly after being left with one chip then moved all in again for 45,000 under the gun. Both David "ODB" Baker in early position and Mike Vanier in the big blind called.

Baker and Vanier checked down the A?6?3?J?9? board and Yoon showed 9?7? for a rivered pair of nines that was good enough to win the pot and triple up yet again.

The next hand, Masato Yokosawa raised to 50,000 in the hijack, Yoon three-bet to 100,000 in the big blind, and Yokosawa called.

The flop came K?9?7? and Yoon bet 35,000, leaving just 10,000 behind. Yokosawa called and Yoon checked the Q? turn. Yokosawa then moved all in.

"I promise you I'm calling," Yoon said as he took a few moments before tossing in his last 10,000. He showed J?J?, while Yokosawa had A?2? as the river came the 5? to earn Yoon yet another double up.
