Ylitalo Tosses in His Last Chip Against Jorgne

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Robin Ylitalo
Robin Ylitalo

Heads-up on a board of AJ102, Peter Jorgne bet 20,000 from the button before Robin Ylitalo raised to 150,000 in the big blind, leaving himself one 1,000 chip behind.

Jorgne called and the Q fell on the river. Ylitalo checked and Jorgne tossed in a chip to put Ylitalo all in before the dealer informed him he still had to make it at least 10,000.

Ylitalo spent several minutes glancing back at the tournament clock as he burned through his time banks. "Could I tell him what I have? Is that allowed?" he asked.

"You're getting a pretty good price," tablemate Lewis Spencer joked.

Ylitalo eventually put in his last chip and Jorgne showed AK for a straight. Ylitalo flashed QJ before going over to give Jorgne a hug on his way to the exit.

Jorgne sits on seven figures but is not the chip leader at his table as Matthias Lipp holds that feat. He previously knocked out Alexios Zervos in a big pot with aces versus ace-king.

PokerNews Podcast Special: Shaun Deeb Talks $800K Body Fat Prop Buyout & 2024 WSOP Schedule

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On this special episode of the PokerNews Podcast sponsored by 888poker, Chad Holloway goes one-on-one with Shaun Deeb, who accepted a $800,000 buyout in his $1 million body fat prop bet against Bill Perkins.

Nearly 11 months ago, the poker players agreed to a 14-month wager on Deeb's ability to bring his body fat composition down significantly. The bet had essentially no stipulations — either get to 17% body fat by the start of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), or lose $100,000.

Last month, Deeb gave his X followers an update on his progress, and it was certainly positive in his favor. A January 25 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan showed his body fat had dropped to 23.9% with still four months to go. That caused Perkins to begin proposing potential buyout possibilities on X, although nothing had been officially agreed upon.

Shaun Deeb Accepts Buyout in $1 Million Body Fat Loss Prop Bet

On Friday, he went in for another DEXA scan, and he was in even better shape — 22.0% body fat composition. Then, on Saturday, the future Poker Hall of Famer informed his social media followers that Perkins had bought out of the bet for $800,000 just over three months from the start of the 2024 WSOP.

Deeb shared all the details of his journey, why he opted to accept the buyout, and where he plans to go from here. Plus, hear his thoughts on the 2024 WSOP schedule.

Frankland Busts Jinbo, With a Contribution From Afriat

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Rikiya Jinbo moved all in for 73,000 from the button and Eric Afriat called in the small blind. Mathew Frankland then reshoved in the big blind to get rid of Afriat.

Rikiya Jinbo: J10
Mathew Frankland: A10

Frankland had Jinbo dominated and scored the knockout once the board ran out 558KA to give him two pair.

"Why would you do that?" Afriat asked.

"I figured you would fold some pairs, king-queen," Frankland replied.

Boulad Leaves Parys Short

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 80,000 with the board reading A6J5.

Maxime Parys, in the big blind, checked the action to Jean-Pierre Boulad, on the button. Boulad bet out 40,000 and Parys check-raised to 105,000. Boulad called.

The 7 river saw Parys bet out 191,000, an effective all-in with just 15,000 behind. Boulad made the call. Parys tabled K8 for king-high with a blocker to the nut flush, while Boulad earned this pot with a flopped set holding 66.
