Yockey Breaks the Best Hand

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We walked up to the table to see Greg Raymer, Ben Tollerene, and Bryce Yockey in a three way pot after the second draw. Raymer checked to Tollerene, who bet out. Yockey tossed out a raise, then Raymer surprised both with a check three bet. Tollerene tanked for about 30 seconds before folding, and Yockey tossed in the call. Raymer stood pat, and Yockey looked at his cards, said "here we go," and drew one. Raymer quickly checked, and Yockey did the same when he saw his new card.

Raymer tabled {9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{2-}, and Yockey immediately had a frustrated look on his face, rechecked his hole cards, then flung them to the muck. Three of them went air born, with two going off the table, and one hitting the dealer. Yockey immediately apologized several times, and the entire table, including the dealer, got a bit of a laugh out of it. They then talked about photoshopping a picture of the dealer with a card sticking out of her shoulder, which got the table laughing some more. As we were leaving, Yockey revealed that he had broken the best hand on the final draw, which is why he was so frustrated.
