Kwan Find a Double Up on Ypma

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Derek Kwan opened in middle position to 300 and the cutoff called. John Ypma decided to 3-bet to 1,500 in the small blind and Kwan responded by a 4-bet worth 5,600, with around 5,000 left behind. It folded back to Ypma who 5-bet to put Kwan at risk and the latter called for the following showdown:

Derek Kwan: 10?10?
John Ypma: A?K?

Kwan won the flip thanks to the 9?3?4?5?6? runout and got the double up he needed.
