Yockey Seeing Red

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

"I busted the 50k and I haven't folded a pot since." Bryce Yockey just moved next to defending Champion, Loren Klein.

"You just folded the nuts on the flop," Klein said.

At that point, a player raised to 1,200 from the button, and Yockey re-raised to 3,800.

"This shouldn't really be a surprise," Yockey said.

His opponent re-raised again, and the two got all in. Yockey was ahead with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} against the {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} of his opponent.

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, and Yockey won the hand.

"All that talk got you some action," Klein said.

Yockey said he would normally flat but wanted to give us something to write about.

So far, Yockey seems to be building his stack quickly despite his apparent distress toward recently busting from the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.
