Phua Dents Yu's Chip Lead
Level 15
: Blinds 0/0, 30,000 ante
Winfred Yu limped from an early position with the A?J? and Paul Phua did so from the cutoff with the 8?8?, Chen Ming Kong checked out of the button with the K?J?. The A?Q?8? flop brought a bet worth 250,000 by Yu and Phua with his bottom set used one time bank extension.
Phua then mulled it over for a bit before pushing all-in with a big smile on the face. Kong instantly folded and Yu called.
The 9? turn and J? river changed nothing as Phua improved to a flush in order to double, putting a dent into chip leader Yu's stack.
