Ermin Spikes the River on Yockey

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ivan Ermin opened to 80,000 on the button and Bryce Yockey defended his big blind to see the 6♠4♣3♣ flop.

Yockey check-called a bet of 55,000 from Ermin and the dealer revealed the Q♦ turn. Yockey checked again, making the call after Ermin fired 125,000 into the middle.

The 8♥ river saw Yockey check one last time, with Ermin counting out a bet of 230,000. Yockey took some time before tossing in the call and saw the bad news.

Ermin showed 8♠8♦ for a set on the river, leaving Yockey frustrated and short-stacked.

Peter Park: A♦J♦ All in
Late Position Player: Q♠9♠

Park was ahead and improved to broadway on the K♣2♥10♣7♠Q♣ runout to secure the full double. During the day's play, he has managed to accumulate an impressive ten bounties to go along with his eventual money finish.

Mike Holtz was all in from the button and had one caller from the small blind.

Mike Holtz: 10♠10♦All in
Small Blind: 5♠5♦

The small blind said "oh wow I didn't expect you to have a hand" when Holtz turned over his cards.

The dealer put out a 2♥8♣3♠ flop and the small blind called out for a four. "Don't call out for a four!" Holtz said. The turn was a 4♦. Holtz said "King! I shouldn't be calling out for anything." The river was a Q♠ and Holtz secured a double up and some wonderful memories.

Gunchev Over a Million

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A player opened to 60,000 from middle position before Nikola Gunchev moved all in for 590,000 one seat over. Action folded around to the big blind, who called off for slightly less. The middle position player got out of the way to setup the all in.

Big Blind Player: Q♦Q♣ All in
Nikola Gunchev: K♠J♠

Gunchev was behind and the big blind seemed set to get the full double. The flop came 8♥K♣3♣ to move Gunchev into the lead with nothing changing on either the 4♣ turn or 10♥ river to eliminate the big blind player. The original raiser could be heard after the hand bemoaning the fact that he had folded pocket eights.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mariano Molino was all in for 195,000 from middle position. The player in the cutoff four-bet all in and cleared the field to go heads up with Molino.

Mariano Molino: 5♦5♣All in
Cutoff: K♥J♦

The flop was 8♠J♣K♦ and Molino was all but out the door when the 5♥ came on the turn. The A♦ river was inconsequential and Molino doubled up.
