Yamada Flushed with Chips
Action picked up on a flop of 8?A?5? with the under the gun player having gone all in pre flop for less than a big blind. The players in both middle position and the cutoff, as well as Lloyd Yamada on the button, were in a three-way side pot.
The middle position player bet 30,000 on the flop and the cutoff folded but Yamada made the call.
The 9? on the turn saw the middle position player check to Yamada who bet 40,000. Middle position made the call and the dealer put out the A? on the river. When checked to Yamada bet 125,000 and the middle position player folded and Yamada took the side pot.
Under The Gun: Q?2?
Lloyd Yamada: A?9?
After the at risk player turned over his hand Yamada took the main pot and the under the gun player headed for the rail.
