Dayan Cements His Place on Top

There was a raise to 1,400 in the hijack, and the button just called. Yehuda Dayan three-bet to 7,000 in the small blind and only the hijack called. The flop came A♠Q♦8♦ and Dayan led out with a bet of 7,000, which his opponent called.

The turn was the 5♠, and Dayan checked this time. His opponent made a bet of 9,000 and Dayan instantly ripped all in, putting his opponent to the test for his remaining stack of 68,000 chips. He thought for a couple of minutes but decided to fold his A♣K♦ face up.

"Good fold," Dayan confirmed. "Really, good fold. Ten more minutes, we go to sleep."
