Not long ago, Xin Yuan was down to only 80,000 – ten big blinds in this level. He open raises and earns two callers to then bet after the Diamond QSpade 10Diamond 3 flop from an early position. Marc Joseph raises big for most of his remaining chips to force out a third player and then calls all-in for 226,000 in the cutoff once Yuan moves all-in with the covering stack.

Marc Joseph: Spade AClub Q.
Xin Yuan: Diamond ADiamond J.

Joseph is ahead with top pair and top kicker but needs to dodge a lot of outs. One of them instantly comes with the Diamond 10 turn to leave Joseph with two queens and two tens as only outs. The river is the Club A and the bubble bursts.

Xin Yuan – 684,000 (86 bb)
