Yeah Reeling

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Hot on the heels of losing a coin flip to Kasey Castle (who is currently beating himself in the back of the head with a water bottle), Joon Hee Yeah opened from the small blind for 48,000. Yevgeniy Timoshenko immediately moved all in from the big blind.

Yeah shook his head and looked to the ceiling as if to say, "Why me?" He deliberated for about 15 seconds before telling Timoshenko, "Take it down," and mucking his hand.

Kastle: {Q-Spades}

Yeah:

In a classic race the board fell {8-Spades}

, giving Kastle two pair, queens and eights, to find a much needed double-up to around 200,000 in chips.

The Kastle is Falling

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Casey Kastle is now down to a touch over 100,000 after not playing a single hand for many orbits. Every four hands is costing him 32,000, and is seems that his plan of sitting back and watching the fireworks is going to backfire unless he can find a hand to move his chips with very shortly.
