August Shortens Eveslage
Level 18
Leonard August: J♥J♦7♥/J♠8♦K♣5♦
Chad Eveslage: Q♣5♦3♣/Q♥2♥10♣4♠
Ben Yu: XxXx/2♣ - folded bring-in
Chad Eveslage completed and Leonard August made it two bets to go. Ben Yu folded his bring-in and Eveslage called.
August then called bets on fourth through sixth streets from Eveslage before both players checked the end.
August showed his trip jacks for the win and dragged the pot.
"Don't run like Chad" joked table mate Ben Diebold, referring to how well Eveslage has been running (and playing) for not just this WSOP with two bracelets already, but over the last many months with a WPT Player of the Year title to his name this year as well.
