Bryce Yockey Breaking Through
Bryce Yockey recorded his first WSOP cash in 2009 with a fourth-place finish in $1,500 No-Limit Hold��em 6-Handed. This summer he finally won his first WSOP gold bracelet in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Eight or Better tournament.
Yockey followed that up with a fifth-place finish in Event #67: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed High Roller and a sixth-place finish in Event #72: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship. Adding in his 39th-place finish in Event #64: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed Mix and Yockey has earned more than $800,000 of his $1.6-million in WSOP earnings within the last three weeks.
Today, Yockey entered with just under 200,000 and has added about 50,000 to his stack. Given the run he has been on, it would not be a surprise to see Yockey make a deep run in the Main Event and put a nice finishing touch to an already strong summer.
