Alaei Smacks the River to Dent Yankov's Stack
Niveau 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 5♥Q♦6♣, Krasimir Yankov bet 18,000 from early position before Daniel Alaei, in the big blind, raised to 100,000. Yankov then moved all in and Alaei called for his last 165,000.
Daniel Alaei: Q♣10♠6♠2♣
Krasimir Yankov: K♥Q♥8♣7♣
Alaei was in the lead with two pair heading to the 8♥ turn, where Yankov made a better two pair to jump out in front.
Poised for a knockout, Yankov saw the 6♦ fall on the river as Alaei made a full house to earn a double up.
