Anisimov and Yockey Chip Up
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Yuriy Anisimov limped the small blind and Gavin Andreanoff checked out of the big blind, which led them to the J♣J♥6♥ flop. The Russian check-called for 50,000 and then led the 3♥ turn for 100,000, Andreanoff called.
Anisimov then bet 425,000 on the 3♣ river and Andreanoff folded with fewer than that behind.
One hand later, James Casement opened to 125,000 in the cutoff for chip leader Bryce Yockey to call in the big blind. The Q♣10♥2♣ flop was checked before Yockey bet the J♦ turn for 100,000, Casement called.
After the 9♦ river, they checked and Yockey announced king-jack, then exposed the K♦J♣7♦3♦ for a king-high straight. The second nuts was good as Casement mucked his cards.
