Roman Invasion Halted

Roman Yitzhaki has been eliminated by James Sudworth in a cruel 70,000 pot or so. All in preflop Sudworth's {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} ran better against Yitzhaki's {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} on a {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} board.

The young English pro is on 125,000 now.

Bill Edler Has Bonnie Tyler Moment

Yes, the former WPT champion truly was holding out for a hero (call). With the board reading {K-?} {8-?} {6-?} {7-?} {6-?} Edler made a call for 4,500 on the river with {A-?} {10-?}.

How good was the call?

Well his opponent was forced to show {A-?} {9-?} - So the {10-?} played.
