Yockey's Ladies End Berman's Run

Lyle Berman

No-Limit Hold'em

Lyle Berman had already seen himself survive two all-in preflop situations in what was an eventful round of No-Limit Hold'em, He chopped the first and doubled up on the second. The third time was his elimination charm as he three-bet all in from the big blind to a cutoff raise from Bryce Yockey, who quickly called him.

"You call?" Berman was overheard saying. Yockey confirmed.

Bryce Yockey: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Lyle Berman: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Berman's tournament life lasted through the runout and no longer as the cards were dealt {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, giving Yockey queens full as Berman missed his draw for Broadway to stay alive.

With Berman's elimination, the tournament field is down to 14 players, just two eliminations from making it into the money.
