Yakovlev To 3 Million

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Adam Geyer raised to open the pot, and Mikhail Yakovlev called from the big blind to go heads up to the flop.

It came {4-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {A-Spades}, and Geyer continued out with 120,000 more. Yakovlev flatted, and he called another 275,000 after the {J-Clubs} turn. Both players checked through the {Q-Hearts} river, and Geyer flashed the {J-Spades}. It was no good; Yakovlev showed up {K-Hearts} {9-Clubs} to take the pot with a pair of kings. This one moves him up to about 3 million!
