Nick Yunis

Nick Yunis opened with a raise to 1,800 in middle position, and Nick Yunis three-bet shoved for 18,400 next door. Yunis took a soak in the tank, chatting with his neighbor as he did.

Most of their conversation was too quiet to overhear; the two were mostly smirking at each other, really. “Most people would be in there already, I think,” Yunis said at one point. Eventually, he folded, saying something about pocket jacks.

“I had nothing,” Soverel mocked as he pushed his cards toward the muck.

“Ace-king high?” Yunis mused.

From two seats over, Jake Schindler pointed at Soverel’s hole cards laying face-down and shot him a hopeful eye.

Soverel went ahead and flipped up his AcTc.

The next hand, Yunis opened to 1,800 again, and a player behind him three-bet shoved for 5,800. Yunis rolled his eyes and sighed for a moment, long enough for Schindler and Soverel to giggle at each other over the delay. Yunis did eventually call.

The at-risk player had Ad6s, but it was no match for Yunis’ 7d9d. The board ran out JdTd5s7c9c, and Yunis got the knockout with two pair.

Nick Yunis – 45,000 (56 bb)
Jake Schindler – 37,000 (46 bb)
Sam Soverel – 24,000 (30 bb)
