Iori Yogo Eliminated in 2nd Place ($126,600)

Level 29 : 100,000/200,000, 10,000 ante

In the space of a few hands just after the break, Iori Yogo has been eliminated from the tournament.

In the first, Yogo opened to 400,000 before Anthony Hachem raised to 1,100,000. Yogo called as both players saw the flop fall {A-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. A continuation bet of 1,500,000 from Hachem was too much for Yogo, who mucked his hand, dropping down to 2,850,000 in chips.

A few hands later, Hachem opened to 500,000, before Yogo moved all-in for just over 3,000,000. Hachem called and both players tabled their cards.

Hachem: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Yogo: {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to see Yogo miss with his straight draw and live cards, to be eliminated in second place, earning $126,600 for his efforts.

With that second placed finish, Yogo has propelled himself to a commanding lead in the race for the ANZ Player of the Year, with only two more stops in the current season for his rivals to catch up.
