Yang Doubles Through Voronin
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Kirill Burtin raised from the hijack with Konstantin Voronin calling from the cutoff, Tommy G calling out of the small blind, and Tao Yang defending his big blind.
The action checked to Voronin on the 8♠5♣10♠ flop, and he fired out 24,000. G folded, but Yang check-raised to 100,000. Burtin got out the way before Voronin jammed to put Yang all in. Yang had around 150,000 remaining in his stack, and thought for around two minutes before making the call.
Tao Yang: Q♠9♠ 
Konstantin Voronin: K♦8♦
Voronin just had a pair of eights and needed to fade a lot of outs on the turn and river to send Yang home. The 9♦ turn put Yang into the lead with a pair of nines. He improved to two pair on the Q♥ river, and doubled up at the expense of Voronin.
