Yuan Calls His Shot

Kevin Taylor

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

"This is the table you want to watch," big stack Chunlei Yuan said. "Watch this hand."

Yuan raised it up to 1,400 in early position, and the button called. Jesse Yaginuma was in the small blind, and after about 20 seconds in the tank, he moved all in.

"You're watching right? This is the hand," Yuan said as he announced all in over the top. The button wasn't thrilled with proceedings, and reluctantly folded his hand to lead to an all in showdown.

Yuan:
Yaginuma:

The table got a good laugh as the cards were tabled, but Yuan was undeterred. "All good I win this one," he said, and sure enough, the flop came down , giving him a broadway draw and the nut flush draw. The hit the turn, and Yaginuma was left drawing to a chop. The hit the river, leading to continued laughter from the table. Even Yaginuma had a smile on his face in the aftermath of that hand as he got up to leave.
