Players With Plenty To Say; Yang Gets Outdrawn
Alex Lavoie was seen doubling up with queens, happily sharing his thought process while his opponent across the table laughed the situations off, paying heed to all the attention the table was getting.
Shortly after Lavoie went all in on a flop of 2♠K♠5♠ and when his opponent folded, he couldn't help but show the A♦K♣, explaining he had to and how he hated to play ace-king. An opponent across the table chirped in that he would gladly play it every hand if he could.
Just one hand later Jerry Yang, Alex Lavoie, and Bentola Akpata saw a flop of 7♠Q♠10♦. Yang led with a bet of 6,000 and Lavoie was at a decision. Akpata, not realizing that the action was on Lavoie, went all in out of turn for 11,100. Lavoie laughed, folding, and mentioned Akpata only made his decision easier. Yang was then at a decision but was well priced in against the short stack.
Bentola Akpata: K♥J♣
Jerry Yang: Q♣J♣
The turn brought the A♣, making Broadway for Akpata and when the Q♦ fell, it made no difference to Yang, forced to more than double up his opponent.
Lavoie went on to say he folded a queen as well and Yang seemed to be the only one without much to say.
