Mark Yazbeck

Alex Yazbeck had more than doubled his stack but was just all in for a mere 2,150 with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} versus {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The board came {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and he doubled.

One table over, his father Mark Yazbeck was in action and called a raise to 400 by Marco Perri, as did David Sebesfi and one further player. The {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop was checked to Yazbeck and he bet 450, only Perri and Sebesfi called. On the {8-Clubs} turn, the action checked to Sebesfi who now bet 1,400 and picked up two callers.

The {2-Diamonds} river was checked and Perri announced queens, rolling over the {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Yazbeck had that beat with {a-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Sebesfi mucked.

One hand later, Brendon Rubie check-called a bet of 2,200 by Yazbeck on the {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} turn and the {9-Hearts} river was checked. Yazbeck had the best of it again with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and won the pot.
