Yuri Ishida

Yuri Ishida (pictured) enters Turbo Flight 1C, takes her seat, and immediately plays her first hand from middle position.

Three players put in 4,000 each to see a flop of Heart AHeart 8Heart 6. Andreas Goeller bets 12,000 from UTG+1, Yuri Ishida moves all in from middle position for exactly 26,000, and Deborah Nizzard folds her cards in the cutoff.

Goeller calls with Heart KClub 10 for a king-high flush draw, and Ishida turns over Spade AHeart J for a pair of aces with a (now-worthless) jack-high flush draw. Ishida needs her hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the Club 5, the river card is the Diamond K, and Ishida wins the pot with her pair of aces to double up in chips.

Yuri Ishida  –  65,300  (131 bb)
