Yau Takes Down Big Pot; McKellar Bounces Back
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
On a heads-up completed board of 5?8?8?6?Q?, there was already around over 175,000 in the pot when Pierce McKeller led out for 85,000.
The action was then on Ethan "Rampage" Yau who responded by moving all in for more, which prompted a disheartened fold by McKellar to award him the huge pot.
With this win, Yau's stack was boosted up to 380,000 while McKellar was left with around 55,000.
Luckily for McKellar, he was able to double up a few hands later when his ace-eight defeated the ace-jack of Scott Mataya.
