Yokosawa Eliminated, But Will Return

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Masato Yokosawa
Masato Yokosawa

Masato Yokosawa was short-stacked and all in preflop versus Patrick Bechard and 2013 EPT Deauville Main Event Champion Remi Castaignon.

With action on the river for a side pot with the board reading {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Castaignon checked to Bechard, who bet 10,000. Castaignon called for most of his remaining stack.

Bechard showed {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a winning top two pair. Castaignon showed a losing {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}, while Yokosawa showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} to eliminate him from the flight, but the GPI award-winning Poker Personality of the Year says he'll be entering tonight's flight B.
