Yepez Doubles and Leaves Raber on Fumes
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Luis Yepez clashed with Jason Raber as Yepez got his chips in the middle preflop from middle position against Raber out of the big blind position to be at risk.
Luis Yepez: 7♠7♥
Jason Raber: A♣K♥
Yepez needed to fade some overcards. The flop brought two overcards, but Raber hadn't paired up yet when the dealer spread out 10♦J♥3♦ to keep Yepez in the lead. Raber did gain a straight draw with two cards to come.
The 9♦ was safe for Yepez, and the 9♣ river paired the board to award him the double up and leave Raber searching for one himself as his stack shrank.
