We approach the table at the turn stage and and Philip Yeh has just made a big bet that Richard Alm has called.

As the river comes out the board reads {6-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {3-Spades} {8-Diamonds}.

Phillip moves in for his remaining 80,000 and Alm calls but mucks when he sees Yeh's {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} for the rivered straight.

Yeh back up to 375,000
Alm down to 370,000.

Olsson Doubles Up

[user22113]

John Myung raised under the gun to 34,000 and the table folded around to Brian Olsson. Olsson quickly re-raised all in to 115,000 forcing Myung to go into the tank. After much thought Myung made the call and turned over {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. Olsson turned {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs} and the race was one.

The flop came {2-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {10-Hearts} giving Myung top pair, but Olsson a set. The turn was the {7-Spades} and the river {3-Diamonds}.

Olsson has 330,000 in chips and Myung is crippled with less than 30,000.

Two hands later Myung was eliminated when Deb Blair's {K-?} {Q-?} beat his pocket threes.

Ali Salman raises to 30,000 from early position before Andrew Goddard moves his last 43,000 into the middle which Salman calls.

Goddard shows {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Salman shows {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

The dealer brings us {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {6-Spades} {4-Spades} {J-Spades}

The nine enough to eliminate Goddard,

Salmon up to 220,000 now.

Philip Yeh doubles up another player. Less than 10 minutes has passed since his last gift and Yeh decided to be generous again. Terry Quinn went to the bank of Yeh with {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} and Yeh called Quinn's all in with {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} .

The board came {5-Spades} {2-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} and Quinn doubled up to 250,000.

Yeh Can't Win Them All

Prior to this hand Philip Yeh had only lost one pot since the dinner break. That number is now two as he doubles up Harold Akiona.

Yeh called a preflop Akiona all in with {3-?} {3-?} and Akiona tabled {K-?} {K-?}. The Board brought no help as it blanked off {Q-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts}.

Akiona is up to 315,000, while Yeh is down to 450,000.

Deb Blair raises to 32,000 from late position before Brett Kimes reraised to 80,000. Deb tried to use her stack and moved all in but found an instant caller.

Kimes flips over {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}
Blair flips over {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}

The board comes {Q-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {2-Spades} {5-Diamonds}

It was over by the turn as Kimes jumps up to 280,000.

Blair back down to 400,000.
