Lawrence Brandt was the bring-in and called when Bryce Yockey completed. The duo checked through fourth street, and Brand checked again on fifth street.

Yockey then placed a bet, which was called by Brandt after some delibetaiion. Yockey earned the betting lead on sixth street, and he was the one to check-call a bet this time.

Seventh street was dealt, and Yockey decided to lead out. Brandt called after a small tank. Yockey tabled a flush and an eight-low. Brandt took some moments to process that he got scooped, as he slowly mucked what he claimed was a straight.

Limit Flop/Draw: 25,000-50,000, 50,000-100,000 Limits
Stud Games: 15,000 Ante, 20,000 Bring-In, 50,000 Completion, 50,000-100,000 Limits
Pot-Limit & No-Limit: 25,000/35,000 Ante, 10,000-25,000 Blinds

It’s no surprise to see Daniel Negreanu and Alex Foxen run deep at the WSOP... but not usually in a $600 tournament.

With just 31 remaining in Tuesday’s $600 Deepstack Mixed NLH/PLO, the cream has well and truly risen to the top, with some of the game’s biggest names sitting on big stacks at the head of what was a 3,332-entry field.

There’s $204,140 up top and a gold bracelet waiting at the finish line, so plenty to play for, even by high roller standards.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Jeremy Ausmus limped in from the small blind, and Jake Schwartz checked his option in the big blind. Ausmus took three cards on the draw, while Schwartz just needed two.

Ausmus bet the minimum of 25,000 after the draw, which Schwartz raised to 75,000. Ausmus grabbed even more chips and three-bet to 225,000 in response.

"Oh no, what did I just do?" Schwartz lamented as he pondered his decision.

Eventually, he passed his cards to the dealer to forfeit the pot.

"Tell me later?" Schwartz pleaded.

"If I win," Ausmus promised.

"That was such a greedy raise," Schwartz concluded as the chips were dragged Asumus' way.
