Neil Yekell Survives on the Bubble

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Jake Schwartz opened under the gun with a raise and action folded around to Neil Yekell who tanked for a long time, thinking about his hand. After nearly two minutes, he decided to call. Both Devin Looney and Ylon Schwartz called from the blinds.

"I think you just got a couple of spite calls there," Jake Schwartz said.

The flop came down {Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and action checked over to Yekell who bet 2,000. Looney called while both Schwartzes folded.

On the {6-Clubs} turn, Looney checked again and Yekell bet 4,000, leaving himself with just 1,300 behind. Looney folded.

"I would've bet so much money that it was top set," Jake Schwartz said after the hand. Sure enough, Yekell revealed his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for top set and he took down the pot to survive here on the bubble.
