Yazbeck Eliminated for Now

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

The tides in the Yazbeck family have changed once more as Alex is back up while Mark Yazbeck was spotted on his way out. His cards were already in the muck as David Sebesfi dragged in the pot with {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for top pair on a {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} board.

"I was hoping you had diamonds," Yazbeck said and Sebesfi replied "I had one blocker."
