Following an under-the-gun raise to 3,500, Bryce Yockey called from a seat over and the table folded around.

The flop came a coordinated , and the original raiser soon pushed out a continuation bet of 6,500. With position on his opponent, Yockey wasted little time raising to 16,000, and after pausing a half-minute his opponent let his hand go.

The Californian adds a few to his starting stack with that hand, helping his effort to position himself to earn a 16th career WSOP cash and first in the Main Event.
