Bryce Yockey opened to 125,000 and James Casement defended the big blind, then bet the pot on the K♠5♦3♦ flop. Yockey moved all-in and Casement called.

James Casement: A♦8♦5♣2♣
Bryce Yockey: A♥K♥9♥6♦

"He is playing your hand," Jim Collopy grinned and Yockey replied "I like your hand" towards Casement.

The Q♥ turn kept Yockey ahead but Casement rivered a flush thanks to the K♦. He doubled for 340,000 and put a dent into Yockey's big stack.

Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

First to act, Yuriy Anisimov raised it up to 120,000 and Bryce Yockey called in the cutoff. On a 10♠7♣2♠ flop, Anisimov bet the pot for 380,000 and Yockey folded.

Dante Goya then opened to 90,000 on the button for Anisimov to defend the big blind. They checked the Q♠J♦2♦ flop and Anisimov check-called the 8♠ turn for 100,000. The 6♦ river killed the action and they both checked.

Anisimov tabled just the Q♣J♣ for two pair but Goya had a straight with the 10♠10♣9♠7♣.

Isaac Haxton Eliminated in 7th Place ($39,100)

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Isaac Haxton raised the pot as now shortest stack and Yuriy Anisimov repotted from two seats over. It folded back to Haxton, who called all-in for 205,000.

Isaac Haxton: A♣K♣Q♦8♥
Yuriy Anisimov: A♠A♦4♠4♥

"Let's make a straight," Haxton said and then added "or a flush" after he gained equity on the 7♣5♣3♦ flop.

The A♥ turn gave Anisimov top set and the J♦ river failed to improve Haxton, who had to settle for seventh place.

"I am just glad I collected my Final Table bonus, that's what I came here for," Haxton said with a rather dry voice right before heading to the payout desk.
