Yutuc Takes More From Oga With Ace-High
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
George Yutuc raised to 2,200 under the gun. Takafumi Oga responded with a three-bet to 7,000 in the hijack, which Yutuc quickly called.
The 3♣5♦J♥10♠3♠ board was then quickly checked through. Oga tabled A♥Q♥ for ace-high, but Yutuc had the better kicker with A♠K♦ to take the pot.
Over at another table, Michael Souza, Weiran Pu, and Ivar Walstra had all been eliminated, seemingly by Jeff Fenster, being replaced by, among others, James Obst.
