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 
. Neiman check-called a bet of 415,000, the turn was the 
, and both players checked.
The river was a repeat ace - the 
- and Neiman checked a third time. Yanni slid out 600,000, Neiman immediately called, and Yanni showed 
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.
