Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Jesse Yaginuma
Jesse Yaginuma

The player under the gun raised to 3,600, finding three callers; Ross Denny in middle position, Jesse Yaginuma in the hijack and Hung Sheng Lin defending in the big blind.

On a flop of Q?5?9?, the action checked to Yaginuma, who bet out for 6,000. Only Lin and Denny continued.

The J? turn checked through to the 2? on the river. Lin took the lead for 12,000, Denny folded and Yaginuma moved all in for 43,000.

Lin remained in the tank for some time before reluctantly making the call.

Jesse Yaginuma: 7?6?
Hung Sheng Lin: K?10?

Flush over flush sent Yaginuma to the rail.
