[Removed:17] opened to 7,000 preflop and Dmitry Ponomarev made the call before Stuart Rutter made it 22,000 on the button. Yan then four-bet to 46,500 and Ponomarev chose to flat-call once more, Rutter folded.
The flop came 
and Yan led for 19,000, Ponomarev moved all in and Yan stared at him coldly. The New Zealander made the call and turned over 
, Ponomarev flipped 
. The 
turn did not change much and the 
river meant Yan's ace-high was still in front. He's among the chip leaders.
