Yu Catching Fire

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

After sending Jake Schindler to the rail twice, Ben Yu just recently found another victim to vault up the leaderboard. Yu raised to 10,000 from the hijack and Dan Shak three-bet to 35,000 on the button. The action folded back to Yu who four-bet shoved all in and Shak called off his last 170,000 chips.

Ben Yu: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Dan Shak: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

It was a race situation and Shak was looking good to double up on the flop of {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. The {q-Diamonds} on the turn was also a safe card, but the {a-Diamonds} on the river paired Yu's ace and Shak was eliminated.
