Austin Marks Eliminated in 12th Place ($25,874)

[user66118]

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Austin Marks opened his penultimate pot to 28,000, and Allen Kessler three-bet to 125,000. Marks took hardly any time to consider before surrendering.

On the next hand, Marks made the same open, this time from under the gun. Bryce Yockey three-bet him this time, making it 102,000 total. Marks had 142,000 to start the hand, and he moved all in to try for the double-up.

Showdown
Marks: {a-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {5-Clubs}
Yockey: {a-Clubs} {k-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Diamonds}

Neither player had a particularly premium hand, and Yockey in particular was surprised to see that he was in decent shape, even slightly ahead. And his hand would come out best in the end, too. The board ran through {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {10-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} , and two pair gets the job done. Marks couldn't catch a piece of that board, and he's been eliminated in 12th place. That's good for a pay bump up to $25,874 for the young man in the Yankess hat.
