Play Resumes

Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Kasey Castle haven't made it back to the table, but cards are in the air nonetheless. If you're keeping score at home, that five-minute break lasted 12 minutes.

Karian Chipping Up

Yevgeniy Timoshenko raised to 40,000 and Rober Karian made the call.

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Timoshenko checked and Karian quickly moved all in. Timoshenko put his sunglasses on his head and pondered the decision for several minutes. It was 340,000 to call but he eventually decided to give it up and Karian took it down.

Yeah Reeling

No traction for Joon Hee Yeah

Hot on the heels of losing a coin flip to Kasey Castle (who is currently beating himself in the back of the head with a water bottle), Joon Hee Yeah opened from the small blind for 48,000. Yevgeniy Timoshenko immediately moved all in from the big blind.

Yeah shook his head and looked to the ceiling as if to say, "Why me?" He deliberated for about 15 seconds before telling Timoshenko, "Take it down," and mucking his hand.

A Double-up for Kastle

Casey Kastle finally found a spot to move all in from the small blind, but Joon Hee Yeah quickly called in the big blind.

Kastle: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Yeah: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

In a classic race the board fell {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}, giving Kastle two pair, queens and eights, to find a much needed double-up to around 200,000 in chips.

The Kastle is Falling

Casey Kastle is now down to a touch over 100,000 after not playing a single hand for many orbits. Every four hands is costing him 32,000, and is seems that his plan of sitting back and watching the fireworks is going to backfire unless he can find a hand to move his chips with very shortly.

Timoshenko Chops Away at Karian

Yevgeniy Timoshenko limped from the small blind and Rober Karian checked his option in the big blind. The flop landed {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and the 22,000 chip bet of Timoshenko was enough to take it down.

Timoshenko flashed an {8-?}.

Yeah Doubles via Karian

A flurry of preflop activity has resulted in another double-up for Joon Hee Yeah. The action was so quick we couldn't see it, but when it was done Yeah was all in with {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} against Rober Karian's {A-Spades} {8-Diamonds}. The board ran out {5-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {10-Clubs}, allowing Yeah to perform another magical escape and double up. Karian had to pay Yeah 185,000 chips when the hand was completed.
