Yanni Turns a Straight

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

John Yanni raised to 255,000 in late position, Philip Neiman defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Neiman check-called a bet of 415,000, the turn was the {10-Diamonds}, and both players checked.

The river was a repeat ace - the {a-Clubs} - and Neiman checked a third time. Yanni slid out 600,000, Neiman immediately called, and Yanni showed {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a turned straight.

"What the..." Neiman uttered as the pot was being shipped to Yanni.

Yanni is up over seven million chips, while Neiman continues to slide.
