Wilkinson Getting Short

Mike Patrick

Wil Wilkinson Eliminated in 3rd Place ($104,381)

Mike Patrick

Level 23

Down to his last 80,000 in chips in the small blind, Wil Wilkinson put them in the middle after a raise on the button from Brian Yoon. Danny Wong also called from the big blind, so Wilkinson would have to fade two would-be tournament executioners.

Wong and Yoon checked down each street after the draws went as follows:

Wil Wilkinson: two, two, one
Danny Wong: three, three, one
Brian Yoon: two, two, two

Wilkinson could only show a pair of sevens, while Wong showed , which was more than enough to win the pot as Yoon also threw his hand into the muck.

After six hours of three-handed play, Brian Yoon and Danny Wong will now play heads-up for the first prize of $240,341 and the gold WSOP bracelet.

It's Snowing Deuces!

Mike Patrick

Level 23

A wild hand just developed that saw Brian Yoon extend his lead a bit more over Danny Wong.

The action started pre-draw with a raising war that saw each player put in four bets before Wong drew two cards and Yoon drew one.

Wong then check-called a bet from Yoon and drew two again versus Yoon's one-card draw.

On the next betting round, Wong check-raised Yoon, but Yoon called and patted his hand.

Wong also patted, then led out on the final betting round, but again Yoon called.

Wong said "You're good", at which point Yoon turned up for the winner.

Wong said he caught all four deuces through the hand, then was forced to try to snow the river, which ultimately failed.
