Majlaton Hits the Flop, Tang Smacks the Turn to Double
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Salim Majlaton raised to 75,000 in the hijack, Yifan Tang moved all in for 600,000 in the small blind, and Majlaton called.
Yifan Tang: A♠K♣ 
Salim Majlaton: A♥Q♦
Tang had Majlaton dominated and was poised for a double up until the flop brought Q♥5♠9♦, giving Majlaton top pair and the lead. The turn, though, was the K♥ and Tang moved back in front with a pair of kings. The river was the 6♦ and Tang doubled up.
At another table, Yusei Iyama and Terrance Reid were involved in a blind-versus-blind battle on a board of J♣5♠2♥K♣6♥. Iyama then bet 350,000, and Reid called.
Iyama could only show Q♠9♠ for queen-high, while Reid had K♥4♣ for top pair to win the pot.
