Following the eliminations of Rafael Lima and Rick Dwyer, Almog Bitton was all in for his last 2,000 from early position. Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Stewart Newman raised from the cutoff and Michael Yenko defended his big blind.

The flop fell and Yenko checked to Newman who bet 10,000. Yenko check-raised all in with a covering stack and Newman tanked for a while before he folded.

Yenko tabled for a pair of aces, leading Bitton’s .

The turn was the to give Yenko a few outs, but the river was the to give Yenko aces and queens to score the elimination and send the remaining field into the money.

Michael Yenko – 270,000 (67 bb)
Stewart Newman – 44,000 (11 bb)
Almog Bitton – Bubbles in 55th place
