Bryce Yockey Eliminated in 20th Place ($4,782)

We caught the hand where Bryce Yockey doubled his micro stack, but he busted soon after. He called all-in in the big blind for 2,700 after Jason Lavallee two-bet.

Both players drew two cards.

"I'm going to check," jested Yockey. He then drew one to Lavallee's one.

"I should bet here," continued Yockey. Both players then stood pat and Yockey opened {9-}{6-}{4-}{2-}{5-} and took the pot.

There was no such such luck for Yockey the next time he was at risk.

Allen Kessler Eliminated in 21st Place ($4,782)

Allen Kessler - 21st place.
Allen Kessler - 21st place.

"He's going to brutalize me," Allen Kessler told us before one of the last hands he played. "Nam Le is drawing three cards. He's going to brutalize me."

Le check-called a bet after the draw, and then drew two on the second draw. Kessler drew one. On the final draw, both players drew one, and then Le lead out. Kessler called, and Le fanned {a-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{2-}. Kessler showed {3-}{3-}{7-}{4-}{2-} for a pair of threes, and Le raked in the pot.

Kessler was eliminated soon after.

Benjamin Lukas Eliminated in 22nd Place ($4,782)

Benjamin Lukas - 22nd place
Benjamin Lukas - 22nd place

We do not expect the frantic rate of eliminations to stop post bubble, at least not for a while anyway. Benjamin Lukas joined the line at the at the payout desk after he was eliminated.

He was down to 4,100 and after raising pre flop he was all-in on the first betting round. Allen Kessler and Daniel Idema both gave him action from the blinds.

On showdown Idema opened {8-}{2-}{3-}{4-}{5-}, beating Lukas' {9-}{7-}{2-}{6-}{3-}, and Kessler's {7-}{8-}{6-}{3-}{5-}.
