Joseph Yselonia was all in under the gun for 515,000 with JsJd, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the AcKs of David Inselberg in the cutoff.

The board came 10c7c2s2d7h, and the jacks held up for Yselonia to win the pot and double up in chips.

David Inselberg  –  705,000  (14 bb)

A few minutes later, with the board showing 7c2c2hQc on the turn and roughly 750,000 already in the pot, Yselonia got it all in for about 880,000 with AdQs for two pair, queens and deuces.

But he needed to improve to stay alive against the 7h7d of Dan Van Dyke in the cutoff — a flopped full house.

The river card was the 10d, and Van Dyke won the pot with his full house to eliminate Yselonia in fifth place.
