Sean Yu Spikes Runners To Win Three-Way All In
Oct 19, '19
 The action was on Sean Yu on the button, who already had committed 11,000 to the pot. Nipun Java was already all in from the small blind for about 80,000 and the player in the cutoff was already all in for about 30,000.
Yu mulled over his decision for a couple of minutes before committing the rest of his chips and all three hands were tabled.
Yu showed QQ, Java tabled 1010 and the cutoff was in the lead with KK. The cutoff had the best hand, but there was a sizable side pot between Java and Yu.
The flop was A109, moving Java into the lead with middle set. The turn was the 8, giving Yu a couple more outs with a straight draw, and the river was the J. Yu drilled a straight on the river to knock out the cutoff and win both the side and main pot.
Sean Yu – 171,000
Nipun Java – 22,000

Familiar Faces Taking A Second Chance
Oct 19, '19
A few players are taking another shot on Day 1C at securing a spot in Sunday’s Day 2 field.
Former Card Player Poker Tour champion Adam Volen busted on Day 1A and is back at it again today. As is Mike Eskandari and seven-time World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner Sean Yu, who busted out of yesterday’s Day 1B.
Bill Klein is in the field today after bagging 44,500 in yesterday’s flight. Klein is taking advantage of the best bag forward aspect of the tournament. If he finishes the day with more than he bagged yesterday, Klein will take the bigger stack into Day 2 and the smaller stack will be taken out of play.

Sean Yu Shows The Bluff
Oct 19, '18
 A player raised to 2,100 from early position and was called by Lily Kiletto in the cutoff and the player on the button.
Sean Yu then three-bet to 10,700 from the big blind, and Kiletto was the only caller. The flop fell KQ7, and Yu bet 15,000.
Kiletto thought it over for a little bit, before ultimately folding what she claimed was an ace. Yu then let out an exaggerated sigh of relief, flipping over 63 for a total bluff.
Yu now has 75,000, while Kiletto is still going strong with 120,000.
