Big-O
Nikolai Yakovenko raised to 85,000 from under the gun, and Howard Smith called from the big blind.
The flop came 
, and Smith checked. Yakovenko bet 120,000, Smith check-raised to put Yakovenko to a decision for his stack, and Yakovenko called to put himself at risk.
Yakovenko: 
Smith: 
Yakovenko had the lead with the nut straight, but Smith had outs to make a flush or a boat. The 
turn wasn't one of them, and neither was the 
river, so Yakovenko scooped the pot to double up.
