Matt Glantz

Matt Glantz put his last 4,000 or so in from the button at the previous level, and Brian Yoon put in a call from the small blind.

Yoon: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Glantz: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Glantz held the lead but it was short-lived as {10-}{7-}{q-} flopped to give Yoon a leading pair. That changed on the turn as Glantz hit two pair when an {a-} fell, but a river {j-} gave Yoon a straight.

More for Yunis

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Nick Yunis' dominance continues.

In one recent pot, Chan Pelton checked to him from the cutoff on a {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{q-Clubs} board, and Yunis bet 6,200. Pelton called. The river was a {5-Spades} and Pelton checked. Yunis thought for about a minute and then took out 21,500 and dropped it in.

"Call," Pelton said instantly.

Yunis showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a set and rake in yet another pot.
