Short-Stacked Yokosawa Gets a Triple
Nivel 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ankit Ahuja opened 6,500 on the button and Masato Yokosawa called before Alvaro Recio jammed for about 160,000. Ahuja snap-called his stack of 50,000, putting the action back on Yokosawa. He laughed as he eyed his remaining 7,000, and tossed his 13,500 total across the line.
Masato Yokosawa: 8♦6♦ 
Ankit Ahuja: A♠Q♠
Alvaro Recio: A♥Q♣
Yokosawa was already cheering when he saw both his opponents had the same hand. The 9♣7♥3♥ flop hit the felt, giving Yokosawa an open-ended straight draw to go along with his two live cards, and the 4♦ turn, and 5♦ river improved him to a straight as he tripled up.
