Ben Yu Eliminated

We caught up to the action to find Hal Lubarsky putting out a bet on a {8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board. Ben Yu called and was left with 600 in chips. With the {9-Clubs} falling for the river Yu put the rest of his chips in the middle and was all in. Lubarsky made the call and cards were tabled.

Yu: {k-}{q-}
Lubarsky: {7-}{7-}

Yu had a top pair of kings, but it was Lubarsky's full house that had the credentials to take the pot down. Last year Ben Yu came in second in this event. This year he is going home early, albeit with $4,118 in his pocket.
