Yau Finds an Ace to Double

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ethan Yau opened to 16,000 from under the gun before Petar Kalev made it 45,000 from the hijack. Yau responded with a four-bet jam to 131,000 and Kalev called to put the vlogger at risk.

Ethan Yau: A?K?
Petar Kalev: 9?9?

Yau seemed unfazed about the situation and continued to focus on his iPad where he was taking part in some WSOP online events.

The A?J?5? flop gave him a reason to look up as he paired up to take the lead and held out to double after the 2? turn and 5? river.
