Yeung Cracks Xu’s Queens

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Chi Ho Yeung

With two players seeing a board of 8♦ 6♣ 4♠ and 18,000 in the middle Chi Ho Yeung checked from under the gun and called a 4,300 bet from Qiang Xu on the button.

On the J♦ turn Yeung checked, Xu bet 12,000, Yeung raised to 35,000, Xu shoved for 43,500 and Yeung called with a covering stack.

Qiang Xu: Q♦ Q♠

Chi Ho Yeung: 6♦ 6♥

Xu had an overpair but was a huge underdog against Yeung’s set of sixes. After failing to find a queen on the K♦ river Xu was sent to the rail while Yeung took down a sizable pot.
