Yamin Making Good On His Guarantee

Kfir Yamin told us when he first sat down that he was going to win the tournament and he is certainly making good on his prediction early on, up to about 50,000.

A player in middle position opened the pot with a raise to 250 and Huseyin Yilmaz called on the button. Yamin called from the small blind and the flop came down {7-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Yamin led out for 600 and the player in middle position called. Yilmaz raised to 2,250 and Yamin made it 4,500 to go. The third player folded and Yilmaz called.

The {K-Spades} hit the turn and Yamin fired 9,000. Yilmaz quickly called, delivering the {K-Hearts} on the river. Yamin went all in and Yilmaz called for the rest of his stack, politely tapping the table when Yamin flipped over {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a straight. Yilmaz called the floor over to use his rebuy while Yamin stacked his chips.

"I told you from the start this is my tournament," he said.
