Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ben Yu is back in it and just chopped a pot to up his stack slightly while Dutch Boyd has been eliminated.

Yu raised from under the gun to 3,300 and was called three ways to see a flop of {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades}. It checked to the player on the button, who bet 6,000 and just Yu called. Yu check-called another bet of 6,000 on the {A-Hearts} turn before moving all in for more than 22,000 on the {K-Spades} river.

His oppponent called with {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Yu chopped it up with the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

One table over, Dutch Boyd had just been moved to a new seat when Justin Young raised to 2,700. Severin Schleser three-bet to 8,200 and Boyd four-bet to 25,000 with around 22,000 behind.

Young folded, but Schleser moved all in to see Boyd call it off with pocket jacks. Schleser had ace-king and spiked an ace on the river to eliminate the three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner.
