Quads Propel Bryce Yockey to 3rd Career PGT Title

Four players returned from a starting field of 88 entrants for the final table of Event #6: $10,100 Pot-Limit Omaha, and when the dust settled, Bryce Yockey emerged victorious to capture his third career PGT title and the $237,600 first-place prize. 

Yockey, who came into the day second in chips and took a back seat early as start-of-day chip leader Frederic Normand put his stack to work early and often to grow his moderate chip lead into over half the chips in play when he sent Brevin Andreadis home in fourth place for $79,200 plus 79 PGT points during the second level of play. 

The first elimination was the high point of the day for Normand as the tide quickly turned as he handed Matthew Wantman his first double of the day, a few hands later, and it only got worse from there for Normand as an ill-timed bluff against Yockey sent him tumbling down the counts.

With the blinds at 40,000/80,000 and an 80,000 big blind ante, Yockey potted pre-flop to 240,000 from the big blind, and Normand called after the five of hearts flashed pre-flop when Wantman folded the button. The flop fell . Normand checked, and Yockey continued for 140,000. 

Normand put in the check raise to 590,000, and Yockey called to see the turn hit the felt. Normand checked. Yockey bet 275,000 after a time extension, and Normand put in the double-check raise to 550,000. Yockey called, and the river completed the board. Normand used a time extension and potted all in having Yockey covered. Yockey snap called for 1,625,000 total and tabled for turned quads, leaving Normand's hand in the cookie jar as his headed to the muck as he surrendered the chip lead. 

A few hands later, Normand got the last of his chips into the middle with double-suited pocket kings and was in great shape to double when Yockey tabled queens and sevens with a suit. However, the turn fell a seven, giving Yockey a set, and when Normand missed his straight draw on the river, his day was done in third place for $110,000 plus 110 PGT points. 

The elimination gave Yockey a nearly four-to-one chip lead heading into heads-up play with Wantman. However, with the blinds at 50,000/100,000 with a 100,000 big blind ante, Wantman still had over 25 big blinds to work with and scored a pair of doubles to make things interesting before Yockey slowly whittled him back down each time. 

In the final hand of the day, the last of Wantman's chips went into the middle with queen-jack-ten-seven with clubs, only for Yockey to table pocket kings to hold a commanding lead. Wantman would turn two pair with jacks and sevens, as he appeared poised for his third double of the heads-up match, but when the board paired a three on the river, Yockey made a superior two pair to send him home in second place for $154,000 plus 154 PGT points.
