‘Yellowsub’: Full Speed Ahead by Jessica on 07.08.08, 9:36 pm

As Level 6 came to a close Jeff “yellowsub” Williams (pictured at right) moved all-in for his remaining 6K on the last hand before break and picked up the blinds and antes.  Well, what a difference a level makes.  When we checked in with Jeff at the beginning of Level 8 he was sitting with a more than ample 65K–over 10 times the stack he had 2 hours earlier.  PocketFives Live inquired to Williams just how someone goes from 6K to 60K in the span of a level he told us, “you run really well.  You get lucky in a couple of spots too.”  Jeff has been all-in for his tournament life on four separate occassions during Level 7 and each time he found himself scooping chips to add to his stack.  We’ll continue to track Jeff’s progress and keep you posted as we play through to the dinner break.

Rami “arbianight” Boukai has doubled up to 45K in Level 8 just before his table broke in the Green section of the Amazon Room. With blinds at 400/800, a player opened to 2,400 in middle position and Boukai shoved for 22,100 on the button. it folded back to the original raiser, who thought for two minutes before calling with 88. Boukai revealed QQ and avoided disaster when the board came out K47JK.
