Yamase Takes Out Turner
Level 3
: Blinds 0/0, 300 ante
With players heads up on a board reading A?K?9? and about 8,000 in the pot, Kenji Yamase bet 6,000 from middle position and was called by Jon Turner on the button.
The turn came the J?. Yamase moved all in with a covering stack and Turner made the call to put himself at risk.
Jon Turner: K?Q?
Kenji Yamase: A?J?
"I have outs," Turner said as the river came the 6?. "That's not one of them."
Turner, who will have the option to reenter for the first nine levels of the tournament, was sent to the rail while Yamase took down a sizable early pot.
