Yockey Avoids the Bubble With a Double
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Daniel Alaei raised to 30,000 from under the gun, and Bryce Yockey called in the big blind.
Yockey bet 65,000 on the 
flop, then called off his last 242,000 when Alaei potted it.
"I've only committed ICM suicide three times this WSOP; might as well make it four!" Yockey said with a wide grin.
Bryce Yockey: 
Daniel Alaei: 
Yockey's set was ahead, but Alaei still had an overpair and the nut flush draw to draw to. Yockey ended matters when the 
turn gave him quads, and after the 
fell on the river, Yockey turned around and celebrated, saying, "About f***ing time!"
