Yankov Leading Despite a Small Speed Bump
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Belmehel Dja Daouadji raised it up from the hijack and was called by Romain Piraux and Krasimir Yankov in the blinds. The flop came 
which stirred up plenty of action. The blinds checked to Daouadji who bet 5,000 and Piraux called. Yankov check-raised to 20,000 and Daouadji stuck in his last 20,200 chips. Piraux folded and Yankov obviously called.
It was a battle of the flush draws as Daouadji tabled 
while Yankov held 
. The turn was the 
which limited Yankov's outs and the 
on the river secured a double up for Daouadji.
