Yockey Doubles Through Arieh

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

Bryce Yockey raised to 350,000 on the button. Josh Arieh made it 800,000 in the small blind, and Yockey responded by shoving all in for about 1.3 million more.

"That's not good," Arieh observed. "I call."

Arieh: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Yockey: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

"Got that one in bad shape," Yockey said excitedly.

The {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop paired Arieh's four, but he improved no further as the {3-Spades} and {k-Clubs} rolled off the deck. Arieh sent over a huge chunk of his stack, making Yockey the new leader.

Joseph Turns Wheel to Double

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

Bryce Yockey raised his button to 250,000 and both Josh Arieh and Jeremy Joseph called in the blinds.

The flop landed {3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Arieh checked to Joseph who bet out pot of 750,000. Yockey called, and Arieh folded as the {A-Spades} landed on the turn and Joseph pushed in his final 160,000 with Yockey calling.

Yockey: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Joseph: {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}

With Joseph turning the wheel, the river landed the {6-Hearts}, and he doubled to 2.6 million while Yockey dropped to 2.4 million in chips.

Chris Ferguson Eliminated in 4th Place ($150,929)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante
Chris Ferguson - 4th place
Chris Ferguson - 4th place

From the button, Chris Ferguson raised to 420,000 before Josh Arieh announced a raise of pot from the big blind totaling 1,320,000. Ferguson pushed in his remaining 880,000 and the cards were tabled.

Ferguson: {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Arieh: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The {8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades} was a bad flop for the at-risk Ferguson, and when the turn and river landed the {Q-Spades} and {A-Diamonds}, he would be eliminated in 4th place for a $150,929 payday as Arieh climbed to 5.7 million in chips.

Quentin Krueger raised in middle position to 420,000, and Bryce Yockey called in the big blind. Yockey checked the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop and snap-called when Krueger jammed.

"How bout them nines, baby?!" Yockey exclaimed, showing {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Krueger had outs with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. The {5-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river missed him, though.

"So f****** sick," Krueger said. "What a f****** joke. Good luck, guys."

Yockey Tries to Leave, Runner-Runner Pulls Him Back

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

Bryce Yockey limped the small blind, and Josh Arieh made it 300,000. Yockey potted, Arieh repotted, and they got it in with Yockey at risk.

Yockey: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Arieh: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The dealer spread a flop of {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

"F*** my life," Yockey said. "Nice tournament."

He flipped his cards over, but the turn was a {3-Clubs} and the river an {8-Spades} to give him the nut low and a chop.

"Let's turn them back over," he said.

"Is that hand dead?" Arieh joked.

"No!" someone from the rail shouted.

"All right, we got a ruling," Arieh said.
