Huge Double for Iakovlev as he Dodges the World
Level 8
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Samy Barka opened 20,000 under the gun, and Michael Iakovlev three-bet to 70,000 in the hijack. Barka made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦8♦8♠, and Barka check-raised the bet of 42,000 to 500,000. Iakovlev went into the tank, checking his cards multiple times, and after using a time bank, he announced all-in for 606,000. Barka snap-called and both hands were tabled.
Michael Iakovlev: Q♠Q♥ 
Samy Barka: 7♦6♦
Iakovlev was looking to dodge a ton of outs as Barka flopped an open-ended straight flush draw. The Q♣ turn improved Iakovlev to a full house though, leaving Barka with just two remaining outs, and the 2♣ river wasn't one of them.
