Yamada Vanquishes Vankrey
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Short-stacked Ronda Vankrey moved all in preflop for her last 100,000 and chip leader Derrick Yamada made the call to put her tournament life at risk.
Ronda Vankrey: K?9?
Derrick Yamada: 2?4?
Vankrey and Yamada shared a laugh when he flipped his cards over and the dealer put out the flop of Q?3?6?.
The 9? on the turn gave Vankrey a big lead with her pair but it's like she knew it was coming because she winced even before the river fell the 5? to give Yamada the gutshot straight.
"Aghhhh, nice hand," Vankrey sighed as the pot was pushed over to Yamada and she made her way to the exit.
