Ermin Spikes the River on Yockey
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ivan Ermin opened to 80,000 on the button and Bryce Yockey defended his big blind to see the 6♠4♣3♣ flop.
Yockey check-called a bet of 55,000 from Ermin and the dealer revealed the Q♦ turn. Yockey checked again, making the call after Ermin fired 125,000 into the middle.
The 8♥ river saw Yockey check one last time, with Ermin counting out a bet of 230,000. Yockey took some time before tossing in the call and saw the bad news.
Ermin showed 8♠8♦ for a set on the river, leaving Yockey frustrated and short-stacked.
