Yasyuchenya Finds an Early Double

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

On one of the first hands of Day 2, Elena Yasyuchenya opened from under the gun to 5,000 only to be met by three-bet to 15,000 from Akin Tuna in the next position. After it folded back to Yasyuchenya, she didn't take long to four-bet shove her stack of 61,000 into the middle. Tuna called, and the cards were revealed.

Elena Yasyuchenya: AK All in
Akin Tuna: QQ

It was a classic flip that Yasyuchenya needed to win. The flop came down A53 to propel Yasyuchenya into the lead with top pair. The 8 turn left Tuna drawing dead to Yasyuchenya's nut flush. The Q river fell to give Tuna an unnecessary set, and Yasyuchenya got the perfect start to Day 2 of the Warm-Up.
