$25,500 High Roller No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 2,500/5,000 with a 1,000 ante
Entries: 104

Jess Yawitz (big blind) and Joseph Cheong (under the gun) were heads up on the turn of a Kc6d2d2h board. There was just over 150,000 in the pot already, and Yawitz bet enough to put Cheong to the decision for his last 67,000. There was no decision to be made; Cheong instantly called, tabling 2s2c for quad deuces. Yawitz showed KsTd, and the meaningless 8d completed the board.

Cheong doubled up.

Joseph Cheong – 285,000 (57 bb)
Jess Yawitz – 85,000 (17 bb)
