Yockey Eliminated

PLH

Cameron New raised on the button and Bryce Yockey three-bet all in for 32,000 from the small blind. New made the call and discovered he was ahead.

New: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Yockey: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts} flop paired both players, but New was still well out in front. The {3-Diamonds} turn left Yockey looking for either a jack or ten on the river, but it was the {8-Spades} the appear. Yockey's elimination brings us down to the final 27 players, which means it is time for a table redraw.

Baker Almost Gets "Zero-Outered"

Tom Schneider
Tom Schneider

We didn't see how the betting went down, but a doozy of a hand just developed when David Baker and Roger Easterday got all in and were at risk against the superior stack of Tom Schneider.

Shneider: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Easterday: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Baker: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

It was a sick hand with Baker way out in front. The {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop gave Baker trips and left Easterday drawing dead; however, with two spades on the flop, Schneider had a runner-runner flush opportunity. Baker's face fell when the {Q-Spades} was put out on the river, making the long shot that much closer to happening.

The dealer burned and put out the {6-Spades}! Baker cringed in agony . . . "Wait," he said, "It paired the board." The realization that he'd made a full house and could beat Schneider's flush dawned on him and Baker was all smile.

Easterday was eliminated on the hand while Schneider followed him out the door a few hands later.

Patterson Bluffs Hachem Off a Boat

Level 18

PLO

On the river of a {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} board, Joe Hachem bet out 15,000 only for Tyler Patterson to raise to 60,000. Hachem tanked for several minutes, "It's got to be quads, what else can you have?"

Finally he mucked and asked Patterson to show.

Patterson said, "I'm pretty sure I'm bluffing here..." turning over {Q-}{6-}{5-}{4-}.

Hachem jumped out of his chair, disgusted with himself before saying, "Nice bet...when did you grow such a big set of balls?" He also admitted that he made a full house on the river.

"I just wanted to get you off ace-five," replied Patterson.

Milisits' Tournament Life on the Line

Scott Clements raised from the cutoff only to have a short-stacked Ryan Milisits raised pot from the big blind. It was 32,500 more back to Clements, who though a moment before slamming down a stack of pink T5,000 chips. Milisits called off his remaining 8,500 and the cards were flipped.

Milisits: {A-Spades}{6-Spades}
Clements: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Milisits was ahead and stayed there as the board ran out {J-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Clements congratulated his opponent and did not seem fazed by the hand,
