Yegge Makes a Flush to Double Up
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action was picked up with roughly 250,000 in the pot and the board showing 5♥9♥8♥.
Derrick Yegge was all in for 355,000 and Eric Bunch called to put him at risk.
Derrick Yegge: K♥K♣
Eric Bunch: 8♦8♣
Bunch was able to flop a set to take the lead against the pocket kings of Yegge. But the J♥ on the turn gave Yegge the flush to put him in front, needing to avoid the board pairing to stay in the tournament. He was able to do just that once the river came the A♣ to give Yegge the double up.
