Yockey and Winter Chop a Big One
Level 6
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Bryce Yockey, who has reentered this event, limped in from the hijack. Aaron Katz called on the button, Jeremy Ausmus called in the small blind, before Sean Winter raised to 40,000 from the big blind. Yockey and Katz called, and Ausmus folded.
The flop was 10♦6♣2♣, and all players checked. On the 8♦ turn, Winter checked and Yockey bet 45,000. Katz called, and the action was on Winter. He decided to raise to 361,000, leaving 1,000 behind. Yockey moved all in, Katz got out of the way, and Winter called.
Sean Winter: A♦9♥9♣7♥ 
Bryce Yockey: K♣9♦8♠7♣
Both players had the nut straight with a flush draw, but the 8♥ river saw neither of them make a flush, so they chopped this one up.
