Casement Doubles Through Yockey
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Bryce Yockey opened to 125,000 and James Casement defended the big blind, then bet the pot on the K♠5♦3♦ flop. Yockey moved all-in and Casement called.
James Casement: A♦8♦5♣2♣
Bryce Yockey: A♥K♥9♥6♦
"He is playing your hand," Jim Collopy grinned and Yockey replied "I like your hand" towards Casement.
The Q♥ turn kept Yockey ahead but Casement rivered a flush thanks to the K♦. He doubled for 340,000 and put a dent into Yockey's big stack.
