Ugly River Sends Yu Home
Level 20
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ben Yu was one of the short stacks left in the field and raised it up from the cutoff. Jason Mercier was in the big blind and stuck in a three-bet, as the two players got all of their chips in the middle with Yu at risk for around 400,000.
Ben Yu: 
Jason Mercier: 
The flop came 
to give Yu a six-high straight. The 
on the turn changed nothing but it was the 
on the river that made Mercier a bigger straight, sending Yu home before the money.
