Tomoyuki Yoshimiya Makes Some Stack Improvements

Tomoyuki Yoshimiya

Flight A PokerStars Red Dragon (PHP 25M GTD)

Blinds: 1,500/3,000 Ante 3,000 (Level 14)


Tomoyuki Yoshimiya raised the minimum 6,000 from the button and Kit Lau Chun defended from the big blind. Both players were shown a flop of 4ā™¦ 5ā™„ 2ā™ . Both players checked to see a free 2ā™¦ on the turn. Chun checked his option and called the 6,000 bet of Yoshimiya to lead to a 2ā™„ on the river. Both players checked to force a card reveal.


Yoshimiya's Big Slick had a better kicker than Chun's six.
