Kenny Yeh

After the previous hand, one of the producers approached Kenny Yeh and told him he needed to start playing more quickly. He took that advice to heart in a big way; he snap-called after Phil Laak open-shoved for the fifth hand in a row. Laak actually had a hand, {K-?}

{K-?}

{Q-?}

, and dominated Yeh's {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

. The flop brought intrigue and a good sweat, {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Spades}

. Laaks' top two was in the lead, but Yeh had straight and flush draws. The turn was the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

, no help to Yeh; the river {9-?}

{9-?}

gave him a two pair that was smaller than Laak's.

After the hand was over, Yeh continued jawing at Laak -- but to no avail. He's out of the tournament, concluding the first round Diamonds bracket matches.
