Tournamen-ator Aborts Mission Versus Yockey and Brewer

Pot-Limit Omaha

After Bryce Yockey limped under the gun and Dan Cates did likewise to his immediate left, Chris Brewer raised it up to 22,000 on the button. Both opponents called and the trio went to the flop.

It came A♣6♥Q♥ and everyone checked to the 10♣ turn where the action really began.

Yockey led out for 35,000 and got raised by Cates who made it 125,000 to go. Brewer then potted it to 486,000 which covered both opponents.

Yockey called off for about 300,000 and Cates quickly aborted his mission, sending his cards to the muck.

Bryce Yockey: K♥Q♦Q♣6♣
Chris Brewer: K♣J♦9♦8♣

Each player had the Broadway straight, but each had plenty to go along with it, as Yockey had a set of queens and a flush draw, but Brewer had the better flush draw to the nuts.

The J♠ fell on the river, preventing any more carnage, as Yockey and Brewer chopped up Cates' chips.
