There's one Diamonds bracket match still going -- the entertaining affair between Kenny Yeh and Phil Laak. Yeh just doubled up after raising to 2,500 with {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{J-?}

, then calling all in after Laak moved all in with {A-?}

{A-?}

{8-?}

.

"Any face card!" Yeh instructed the dealer. He was rewarded with a flop of {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

. Neither player had a club.

"Pair the board!" he instructed again. This time the dealer did not comply, putting the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

out instead. The river {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

was a safe-enough card to give Yeh the double-up. He's now at a 2-to-1 chip deficit.
