Jake Ferro

Alex Yen opened to 300,000 from middle position and Jake Ferro shipped for 2,650,000 after using all of his time chips. The rest of the table folded and Yen called with the bigger stack.

Yen: AsTd
Ferro: 8s8c

It was a race and Ferro needed his eights to hold for a double up. Yen took the lead on the QcTs9c flop when he paired his ten. The 3s turn and 5s river finished the boar and the newly crowned WPT Player of the Year was eliminated in ninth place.
