Yockey Hero Calls for Chop
Bryce Yockey found himself under the gun, and open-potted it to 42,000. Middle position player Didrik Mantor then repotted, to the tune of 144,000. Yockey slid in the call.
The J♦K♠9♥ flop checked through, as did the 10♠ turn, before action started to heat up on the river. Yockey put 63,000 into the middle, prompting Mantor to go into the tank. After just over a minute, Mantor then slid in a raise to 155,000. It was now Yockey's turn to tank, and he took even longer to think before finally placing in a chip.
Yockey waited to see Mantor's hand, and Mantor begrudgingly flipped over A♣K♥8♥7♣ for a jack-high straight, and Yockey showed that, despite any queen-x straight combo having him beat, he had called with nothing but the low end of the straight. He tabled K♦9♠8♦7♠ and the two chopped the pot.
