Yockey's Ace-Queen Holds
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Bryce Yockey was down to last 675,000 and he put them in the contest at the right time. Yockey held 
, dominating Ralph Perry's 
.
The flop 
brought some chop opportunities for Perry, and the 
on the turn even increased the chances for a split as any four, seven, king, or ace would result in a tie. On top of that, Perry could still scoop the pot, should he hit a ten on the river.
Neither of Perry's favorable cards appeared on the river, though, as the 
played according to Yockey's notes.
Perry, however, still keeps rolling with 3,500,000.
