Trudeau Takes a Big Hit Against Yockey
Niveau 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jeffrey Trudeau raised to 30,000 on the button and chip leader Bryce Yockey inquired about his stack size before he called in the big blind. On the J♥8♣6♣ flop, both checked before Yockey bet the 8♥ turn for 85,000, Trudeau called.
On the 2♦ river, Yockey bet another 245,000 and Trudeau called after some consideration.
Yockey tabled the K♠10♦8♦5♠ for trip eights and Trudeau immediately said "it's good, nice hand," before tossing his cards into the muck.
