Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Bryce Yockey raised to 40,000 from early position and Kevin Martin called from a few seats over before Kelvin Kerber came along from the seat next to that. Mikhail Volfson made it 175,000 from the blinds and Yockey shoved with a bunch — which sent Martin and Kerber running for the hills. Volfson tossed in the 15,000 he left behind and the cards were turned up.

Mikhail Volfson: Q♥Q♣
Bryce Yockey: A♠A♣

The board ran out K♣9♠2♠4♣6♥ and the aces held to send Volfson to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Wei-hsun Lu opened in early position to 40,000 before the action was on Jonathan Vong in middle position. After a minute in the tank he put in a three-bet to 120,000.

It folded back to Lu who thought over his options for about a minute and then moved all in for his last 925,000. Vong went into the tank and seemed to have a very tough decision. Eventually he thought better of a call and folded.

Lu dragged a healthy pot without even seeing a flop.
