Ye "yuan365" Yuan Looking For Another Big Summer of Online Fun
Level 5
: 60/120, 0 ante
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 run payoff in similar fashion.

“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.”

Set of Aces Over Set of Kings
Level 7
: 100/200, 25 ante
Christopher "Basile28" Basile three-bet to 1,760 from the button over a raise to 480. James "aggie69" Agate four-bet all in for 21,665, Basile called with his smaller stack.
It was a cooler as Agate had the 
vs the 
of Basile.
The flop included an ace as it came the [9s9haad] the turn was the 
and the river an extra little needle as the 
came off to give Agate a set of kings, the losing hand.

Pahuja Hits Running Spades to Flush "Dhaus"
Level 7
: 100/200, 25 ante
A series of preflop raises saw Vinny "brownmagic" Pahuja jam his 14,940 stack in the middle from the big blind and "Dhaus" called off their 13,615 stack on the button.
"Dhaus": 
Vinny "brownmagic" Pahuja:
Both players held the same hands with the only difference being the suits and the 
flop gave them each a backdoor flush draw.
The 
paired the board on the turn but it also gave Pahuja the nut flush draw and unfortunately for "Dhaus", the river gave Pahuja the nuts.
