Yusupov Doubles in the First Orbit
Level 33
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Mekan Yusupov shoved from the small blind for 9,1000,000 and Jakub Sterba snap-called from the big blind.
Mekan Yusupov: A♣9♦ 
Jakub Sterba: A♦K♠
Yusupov needed to find a nine, or he would be the first to bust this final table. The dealer put out the flop of 4♣9♠J♥ to put Yusupov in the lead with a pair of nines. The rest of the board came A♠Q♠, and Yusupov earned a much-needed double-up.
