Ante: 50,000

Stoyan Obreshkov Eliminated in 11th Place ($75,915)

Level 35 : 150,000/300,000, 50,000 ante
Stoyan Obreshkov
Stoyan Obreshkov

Stoyan Obreshkov raised to 625,000 from the hijack and Brian Yoon three-bet to 1,600,000 from the cutoff. After about a minute, Obreshkov moved all in for 7,050,000. Yoon asked for a count and paused before deciding to call.

Obreshkov was at risk and well ahead with {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} while Yoon held a dominated {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Yoon pulled ahead with a pair of jacks. Obreshkov could still hit a king for a bigger pair or a ten for a straight, but the turn was the {q-Spades} and the river was the {j-Hearts}. Yoon filled up and Obreshkov, who was the chip leader coming into the day, is now on the rail.
