Yamaguchi's Check-Raise Forces Huang to Fold
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.
