It checked to Yockey on fourth who bet, and both opponents called.

Glaser then led on fifth, and both called again. On sixth, Yockey led after both opponents paired, and only Hellmuth called.

Seventh street checked through as Yockey revealed 7x2x2x in the hole for an eight-seven, and Hellmuth frustratingly mucked as he fell below the starting stack.

Ryutaro Suzuki, who is fresh off a win for his second bracelet in the $3,000 T.O.R.S.E. event, has decided to enter the $25k H.O.R.S.E. for his highest buy-in ever.

Translation provided by Grok:

Bellagio’s 80/160 was played for only 2 hours before the table broke, and I ended up with +$2,345!

Also, in the interview after the win, I said this year’s WSOP would end with TORSE…

But actually, I’ve decided to participate in the $25,000 H.O.R.S.E., my highest buy-in ever!!

It’s a DAY2 registration, but I’m aiming for the bracelet!😎😎
