Good Call For Yu

Maxime Taldir

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Ben Yu was in the small blind when the button opened to 32,000. Yu called, as well as the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 10?5?A?, where the button continued to bet 30,000. But this time, Yu was the only one to check-call and see the turn Q?.

Yu checked once more on the turn, and his opponent checked back. On the river J?, Yu checked for the third time, and then the button bet 85,000. It took a full minute for Yu to make a decision, and in the end, he called with A?6?. His call with top pair turned out to be the winning move, as the button showed 10?9? for a pair of tens.
