Yockey Nearly Felts Seidel

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

There was a substantial pot already brewing and the board read {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades} when we got to the table. Erik Seidel shoved for what looked like about 20,000 and Bryce Yockey called. Seidel had the larger of the two stacks by a very narrow margin.

Erik Seidel: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Bryce Yockey: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

Seidel had draws to the nut flush, king-high straight, and second-nut low, but needed help against Yockey's two pair and nut-low draw. The {K-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and Yockey took the pot to leave the legendary eight-time bracelet winner running on fumes.
