Cowen Smacks the River to Bust Two
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Bryce Yockey bet 35,000 from the hijack on a flop of Q♣3♦K♥ and Biao Ding moved all in for 160,000 on the button. Robert Cowen then reshoved in the big blind, and Yockey called for his last 230,000.
Biao Ding: Q♠Q♦J♣J♥
Bryce Yockey: K♣K♦6♣4♣
Robert Cowen: A♠J♦10♦8♠
Ding had flopped a set of queens, but Yockey had top set and was poised to scoop the pot. The turn was the 5♠, but the 9♥ river gave Cowen a straight to send both Ding and Yockey to the rail.
