Action in the Second Chance tournament may have stalled in terms of eliminations during the past level, but that’s not to say that the chips weren’t flying around. With both Ryan Yu and Oren “Silence the Fish” Haziza under threat at various times, pots were being played, and presumably big folds were being made as there were several uncalled all-in bets and raises along the way.
The big difference maker in the recent play was two pots played between Jonathan Duhamel and Ryan Yu. In both cases Jonathan had position on Ryan, and in both cases a big river bet got the fold from Ryan, leaving him quite short stacked as he had been earlier in the action today.
Finally the two players were blind on blind and Ryan went all in from the sb for about 235K, and found a quick call from Jonathan in the bb.

The flop was a dream for Ryan – Los giving him the open-ended straight draw, but the and on the turn and river couldn’t move him ahead of Jonathan’s Ace-high, and Ryan was eliminated in 4th.
4th place: Ryan Yu, $15,900.00
