Noam Yahav Eliminated in 13th Place ($9,803)

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Noam Yahav
Noam Yahav

Action folded around to the blinds and Noam Yahav shoved from the small. Steve Jelinek called from the big to put Yahav at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

Noam Yahav: {K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Steve Jelinek: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Jelinek had a dominating lead and Yahav needed a lot of help to survive. The board ran out {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} which missed both players entirely, so Jelinek took the pot to end Yahav's run in this event.

Jelinek Chips Up

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Jack Duong raised to 110,000 and Noam Yahav and Steve Jelinek both called.

The flop of {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} checked to Jelinek who bet 150,000. Duong was the only caller.

Duong check-called a bet of 225,000 on the {8-Spades} turn and the river was the {4-Spades}. Duong checked again and Jelinek bet 425,000.

Duong took his time with his decision before folding {a-Clubs} face up.

"Good fold," said Jelinek, showing {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for a full house, threes full of eights, and moving up over 200,000 in chips
