Yoder Below Ten Bigs

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A limped, blind-on-blind pot brought about a flop of {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Donald Nimneh bet 55,000. Raymond Yoder raised to 155,000 and Nimneh called.

Both players checked through the turn {9-Spades} and river {6-Diamonds} to take the hand to showdown, and Nimneh announced that he had a four as he showed {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

"It's good?" Nimneh asked Yoder after the latter did not show a hand right away. Yoder acknowledged and sent his cards to the muck.

Vicki McKee opened to 180,000 in the hijack and Chris Fraley re-jammed for 580,000 on the button. McKee thought for a few moments and then made the call.

Fraley: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
McKee: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Fraley was in a coin flip for his tournament life and quickly fell behind on the flop {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The turn {q-Spades} gave McKee quads, leaving Fraley dead to the river {2-Clubs} to become the first elimination at the final table.

All nine who remain are now guaranteed $7,696.

"Call," said Cheng immediately.

"I'm dead," responded Barksdale.

Cheng: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

"Six?" said Barksdale, seeing he had two outs to a chop. Neither came as the river {7-Spades} completed the runout and he wished the table a good game before making his way to the payout desk.
