Bedell and Hook Hit the Rail
The field is already down to the last six tables after frantic opening two hours and the latest players to fall included Tom-Aksel Bedell and Charlie Hook.
Bedell was all-in after the J?10?8? flop against Bryce Yockey with the A?K?J?6? for top pair and a gutshot while Yockey had the K?K?Q?8? for the overpair.
The 7? turn and 4? river were both blanks.
Soon after, Hook was all-in prior to the 8?6?5? flop and awaited his fate while Yockey and Jim Collopy checked to the 4? turn. Yockey bet 150,000 and Collopy called to see the 9? on the river.
Yockey used a time bank to check, and Collopy used a time bank to then bet 375,000. No call by Yockey followed and Collopy tabled the A?J?10?9? for the nut flush in spades to send the next opponent to the rail from Table 142. Hook exposed his A?Q?10?7? briefly and their table broke right after as the field was reduced to the last 48 hopefuls.
