Baysal Wins a Huge Flip to Eliminate Yasyuchenya
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nebi Baysal limped in from under the gun and Elena Yasyuchenya made it 185,000 from the hijack. Nicolas Chouity called on the button, as did Fadi Nakhoul in the big blind, before Baysal bumped it up to 750,000. Yasyuchenya then shoved for around 2,450,000, Chouity and Nakhoul folded, and Baysal quickly called with a slightly covering stack.
Elena Yasyuchenya: Q♥Q♣
Nebi Baysal: A♥K♣
It was a huge flip early on Day 4, and the winner would join the ranks of the chip leaders. It was Baysal who took the lead on the 6♦10♥K♠ flop as he paired his king, leaving Yasyuchenya with just two outs.
Some more outs arrived for Yasyuchenya on the 9♦ turn in the form of a gutshot, but the 8♣ river was of no use, ending her run.
