Yeh Finally Sent into the Great Beyond

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.
