Yamaguchi's Check-Raise Forces Huang to Fold

Level 6: 300 / 600 ante: 600

Po-Shuo Huang kicked off the action with a 1,500 raise, and Kota Yamaguchi defended his big blind, bringing them to a T 9 7 flop.


Both players cautiously checked, keeping the pot small as they awaited the 4 turn. This time, Huang seized the opportunity, firing 1,800 into the pot.


Yamaguchi, however, had other plans. He suddenly check-raised to 5,000, putting Huang to the test. Huang took his time, contemplating his options, but after a long pause, he sighed and let it go, surrendering the hand to Yamaguchi’s aggression.
