Bryce Yockey Eliminated in 3rd Place ($180,180)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Bryce Yockey - 3rd place
Bryce Yockey - 3rd place

Bryce Yockey mini-raised to 80,000 from the button, and both David Bach and Nick Binger called from their respective blinds. There was 240,000 in the middle, and off they went.

Three-handed, the flop came {6-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, and action checked to the raiser. Yockey continued out with another 190,000 chips, and Bach check-raised the pot. Binger folded, but Yockey couldn't wait to get his chips into the pot. He sloppily shoved them all in, tipping forward a technicolor pile of chips as he simultaneously turned up his cards.

Showdown
Yockey: {2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Bach: {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Bach had flopped bottom two pair, and he needed to fade the last two cards to earn the knockout. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn further improved him to a flush, and it would prove to be a crucial card in the end. The river {9-Clubs} gave Yockey trips, but his hand was still second-best. The diamonds play for Bach, and he scoops the pot to earn the knockout. It's Yockey who falls out in third place, good for a symmetrical payout of $180,180.
