Young Among Big Stacks; Vukovic Down

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On the river of a board {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, Mark Yazbeck bet 12,000 into a pot of 16,000 and forced a fold to claim the pot without resistance.

Gary Benson also added further chips to his stack when Shivan Abdine check-folded the {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} river to a bet of 10,000.

Mladen Vukovic won a pot, however, he had previously lost half of his stack to Rory Young who now tops the leader board. In the recent hand, Young folded the {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop to a bet of Vukovic and one cold-call. The {a-Clubs} turn was checked and Vukovic bet the {4-Spades} river for 5,000 to force out the third player in the hand.
