Yockey: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Joseph: {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}

With Joseph turning the wheel, the river landed the {6-Hearts}, and he doubled to 2.6 million while Yockey dropped to 2.4 million in chips.

Yockey Doubles Through Arieh

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

Bryce Yockey raised to 350,000 on the button. Josh Arieh made it 800,000 in the small blind, and Yockey responded by shoving all in for about 1.3 million more.

"That's not good," Arieh observed. "I call."

Arieh: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Yockey: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

"Got that one in bad shape," Yockey said excitedly.

The {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop paired Arieh's four, but he improved no further as the {3-Spades} and {k-Clubs} rolled off the deck. Arieh sent over a huge chunk of his stack, making Yockey the new leader.

Jeremy Joseph Eliminated in 2nd Place ($315,911); Bryce Yockey Wins

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante
Jeremy Joseph - 2nd place
Jeremy Joseph - 2nd place

From the button, Jeremy Joseph raised to 360,000 and Bryce Yockey called in the big blind.

The dealer spread a {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop and Yockey cut out a bet of 550,000. Joseph responded by announcing pot and being bound to a raise totaling 2,370,000.

Yockey announced he was all-in and Joseph called off his remaining 400,000 and the cards were placed on their backs.

Joseph: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Yockey: {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Yockey was in the lead with his top pair and both players held a straight and low draw.

"Picture!" screamed Yockey as the dealer delivered the {9-Clubs} on the turn.

For Joseph, he would need an eight, seven, six or deuce to remain alive, but when the dealer burned and turned the board-pairing {5-Hearts} on the river, Joseph would be eliminated in 2nd place for a $315,911 payday.

As that river card landed, Yockey rushed to his rail to celebrate jumping up and down in excitement after having collected his first WSOP gold bracelet and the $511,147 first prize.
