Yuan Doubles Through Petrushevskii
Level 29
: Blinds 200,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Sergei Petrushevskii raised preflop and Yilu Yuan defended his big blind. Yuan ended up getting his chips in the middle on the K♦Q♥9♠ flop.
Yilu Yuan: Q♠9♦
Sergei Petrushevskii: A♥A♣
Yuan had made two pair and further improved to a full house on the 9♥ turn. He held on the 6♦ river and doubled his stack. Petrushevskii and Adrian State were running away with it just a level ago, but with that it was looking like anyone's game again.
