Yaginuma Chops to Survive
Level 18
Ante: 10,000
J♥4♥10♣A♦J♠
K♥J♣7♣3♠6♠
Timothy Frazin was first to bet out, with Yuji Yaginuma on his left moving all in for 42,000. Action folded to Jean-Marc Thomas on the right of Frazin, who tank-called the all-in bet, and Frazin did the same. The two then checked it down.
Yuji Yaginuma: A♥10♥9♠4♠
Jean-Marc Thomas: 9♣7♠7♥2♦
Timothy Frazin: Q♣Q♦5♦4♦
Yaginuma took the top half of the pot with aces up, whereas Frazin had made the nuts on the bottom to chop it up with his opponent.
