Yockey Takes the Chip Lead
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of J♠10♠4♠ and roughly 225,000 in the middle, Zachary Zaret checked from the big blind and Bryce Yockey bet 225,000 from the button. Zaret called.
Zaret check-called another bet from Yockey on the 2♠ turn, this time for 515,000. On the 9♥ river Zaret checked and Yockey bet 1,580,000.
Zaret went into the tank for a couple minutes, commenting that it would be hard for Yockey to have a better flush than he did. After a few minutes Zaret called.
Yockey turned over A♦K♠J♦5♠ for a king-high flush to drag in a massive pot, taking the chip lead from Zaret in the process.
