We picked this one up on fourth street, Hawrilenko checking over to Yockey, who put out a bet. Hawrilenko called, then called again when Yockey led on fifth. Hawrilenko took the lead on sixth street and bet when Yockey caught a king. He made the call, the called another bet from Hawrilenko on the river.

Play Continues Without Miami John

[user25067]

The action was stopped and the room cleared about thirty minutes ago when "Miami" John Cernuto collapsed at the table during a hand. Cernuto was attended to by medics and is now being transported to the hospital.

Cernuto was conscious and talking when he was wheeled out of the Brasilia Room on a stretcher, and even gave a wave to the crowd, who gave him a round of applause.

Our thoughts and best wishes go out to Miami John and we hope he makes a speedy recovery.
