Alache Turns the Nuts Against Yankov
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
On a board of K♥5♦7♦4♣, there were over 10,000 in the middle when Oscar Alache checked from middle position and Krasimir Yankov bet 5,300 from the hijack. Alache then took some time before he gathered his chips into a single stack and moved them all into the center of the table. The all-in was for 14,700 and Yankov only needed a few seconds before he called.
Oscar Alache: 8♠6♠ 
Krasimir Yankov: K♦Q♠
Alache had turned the nuts and there was no card in the deck that could save Yankov. A Q♣ on the river did improve the Bulgarian player, but it was in vain as Alache's straight was still best.
