Pot-Limit & No-Limit: 25,000/35,000 Ante, 10,000-25,000 Blinds

Chris Klodnicki, with 110,000, raised to 85,000 from under the gun. The action folded to chip leader Andrew Yeh, who three-bet to 200,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded and Klodnicki called for his tournament life.

Chris Klodnicki: K♥J♦J♣8♥ All in
Andrew Yeh: Q♣9♠7♠7♣

Klodnicki was narrowly ahead and remained so after the 6♦6♠5♠ flop, which gave Yeh a gutshot straight-flush draw.

Disaster struck for Klodnicki on the A♠ turn as Yeh improved to a flush. However, Klodnicki would remain alive on a jack or a six river.

The dealer turned over the 3♠ river, which confirmed Klodnicki as the last player to leave empty-handed.

Yoon had not yet peeled his seventh card and had plenty of outs to either a straight, trips or a better two pair. He instead got the ace of spades for a brick and was sent to the rail while Johnson picked up a healthy pot.

Monnette shot Yeh an angry look after finding out his pocket pair was dominated by Yeh's jacks. The board ran out 9♥3♥4♠K♦6♥ and "Angry John" was sent to the rail, but not before accusing Yeh of slowrolling him.

"I was waiting for the dealer. I took five seconds," Yeh countered.
