Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bryce Yockey and Artur Martirosian were heads up in a pot of 300,000 chips. Bryce Yockey then bet the pot on 9♥10♣8♥2♣ from the big blind.

Martirosian then jammed all in in the hijack and Yockey called off at-risk for 408,000 total chips.

Bryce Yockey: Q♥Q♣6♦5♥ All in
Artur Martirosian: J♣10♥8♠7♣

Martirosian had a straight while Yockey was working with a naked flush draw. However, the 7♥ brought him his flush as he raked in a massive double-up.

"Rather lucky than good," Yockey commented while Martirosian could only sigh as he cut out what he owed.
