Yuan Finds Backdoor Quads to Bust Padula

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante

Ye "Yuan365" Yuan raised to 1,750 from the hijack, Brandon "Savantmode" Padula three-bet to 6,000 from the cutoff, Yuan then four-bet to 18,750 which was enough to put Padula all in who called.

Padula had the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Yuan was looking to knock him out with the {a-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The flop came the {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds} to give Padula trip aces and Yuan a flush draw. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river the {5-Diamonds} to give Yuan quads to win the unlikely way and bust Padula who did not re-buy.

Stone Rebuys After Being Flushed by Shorr

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante

Theree players saw a {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop for 1,800 a piece and action was checked to Matthew "HuniDeGrande" Stone who fired out 6,000 from the cutoff.

Action folded to Shannon "aulophobia" Shorr who checked-raised to 18,000 and Stone called off his remining 6,950 stack.

Shannon "aulophobia" Shorr: {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Matthew "HuniDeGrande" Stone: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Stone was ahead with his pair of kings but had a sweat after the {4-Diamonds} turn gave Shorr a gutshot straight draw to go along with his nut flush draw.

The board paired on the river but it came the {6-Clubs} completing Shorr's flush while Stone re-entered the tournament.

Ye "yuan365" Yuan Looking For Another Big Summer of Online Fun

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante
Ye Yuan
Ye Yuan

Ye "yuan365" Yuan, also known as Tony Yuan, has a tiny amount of cashes on his Hendon Mob profile, with just $6,774 in career tournament earnings outside of one particularly big outlier. Yuan, a Ph.D Candidate of Mathematics and Probability at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, overcame the odds and made the final table of the 2020 WSOP $10,000 Main Event, after pushing through a field of 705 entrants.

“I still can’t believe it." Yuan told PokerNews about his run to the final table. "I don’t know how I made it, but someone I did. I was quite lucky to have some big hands. I won a coinflip when short-stacked with pocket nines against my opponent’s ace-jack offsuit." Yuan also was confident in the transition to the live final table, as opposed to online, saying, "I’m a live guy. I think my live play is better than my online play. I can read people.”

Yuan finally succumbed in fifth-place, losing a flip with ace-ten to the pocket fours of Joseph Hebert, but the $286,963 payday certainly helped put a big dent in his college tuition. Now, with another summer of online events waiting, Yuan will be looking to make another deep today after notching two final tables already this series.

There will be 33 bracelets awarded over 32 days, and PokerNews is excited to announce we’ll not only be live reporting all the action but also offering poker fans daily live streams.

Every day, viewers at home will have access to watching the biggest names hunt for bracelets. In conjunction with PokerNews, Jeff Platt will host early action from each tournament at twitch.tv/jeffplatt, starting around the money bubble each day and taking players all the way to the final table.

“I am thrilled to team up with PokerNews to present coverage of the 2021 WSOP Online,” said Platt, who is a co-host of the PokerNews Podcast. “We learned last year that the prestige of bracelet events draws an incredibly passionate audience on Twitch. I can’t wait to interact with that audience again as we crown poker’s newest champions.”

After Platt’s streams, coverage will then shift to twitch.tv/pokernews where PokerNews’ own Jesse Fullen will cover final table action alongside a rotating cast of co-hosts including Alec Torelli, Ryan Laplante, Jesse Sylvia, KL Cleeton, Rampage Poker, and Jaman Burton, among others. The streams will also be featured on YouTube and Facebook.

“WSOP Online will certainly be the biggest online series of the year in the USA. We’re thrilled PokerNews has again stepped up to provide fans a way to follow the action,” said Ty Stewart, Executive Director of the WSOP. “Jeff Platt’s personal streams were a highlight of last year’s online series and we have no doubt the PokerNews final table streams will be an entertaining watch.”
