Leu Sends Yanni to the Rail

Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

John Yanni moved all in for 280,000 from under the gun and Matthew Leu snapped from the big blind, putting Yanni at risk of elimination.

John Yanni: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Matthew Leu: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The flop rolled out {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, giving Leu a set of jacks as he extended his lead. A {3-Hearts} peeled off on the turn, giving Yanni some hope as he turned a flush draw but the {5-Clubs} river did nothing for him and he was eliminated by Leu's set of jacks.

Maher tapped the table to Veliu who fired in 75,000 and Maher quickly threw his hand into the muck, sending another pot to Veliu.

Over on Table 1, Soheb Porbandarwala (700,000) and Vinny Pahuja (690,000) are also in that 35-40 big blind range.
