Yanovski Doubles Up Early
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Christos Argyriadis under the gun and Leonid Yanovski in the cutoff had each put in 64,500 preflop when Argyriadis shoved on the 10♥3♣9♥ flop.
Yanovski looked agonized before he sighed and put in the call for his stack of 152,500.
Leonid Yanovski: K♣Q♣10♦8♦ 
Christos Argyriadis: A♦A♣K♥4♠
Yanovski had a lot of outs against the aces of Argyriadids, but the 4♦ turn was not one of them. The J♣ river was, however, as he made a straight to win the pot of over 400 big blinds.
Thanks to some early pots, Argyriadis was left with about a third of a starting stack after the hand.
