Yellick Gets Paid by Larson; Brown Busts Choleva
After two limps in front of him, Evan Yellick raised to 4,000 in the hijack and was called by Dan Larson under the gun and another opponent in middle position.
All three players checked the K♥10♥3♥ flop. Larson then bet 6,000 on the Q♠ turn, and only Yellick called.
Larson checked the 8♦ river, Yellick bet 15,500, and Larson quickly called. Yellick showed A♦J♦ for a straight, and Larson mucked.
At another table, John Choleva got in his last 40,000 from the cutoff on a flop of K♠10♦J♦ and Josh Brown put him at risk in middle position.
John Choleva: J♣9♣
Josh Brown: Q♣J♥
Both players had a pair and straight draw, while Brown was ahead with his queen-kicker. The 5♣ turn and 3♠ river were no help to Choleva, and Brown held up to send Choleva to the rail.
