Yankov the Indestructible
Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Weiran Pu made it 250,000 from the cutoff, and Krasimir Yankov jammed for 900,000 from the button. Pu called once the rest of the table folded.
Krasimir Yankov: K♠Q♣ 
Weiran Pu: A♥9♣
Pu was ahead with ace-high, but the 10♣J♣3♠ flop gave Yankov a straight draw and more ways to stay alive. A 2♦ turn put the tournament one card away from the final table. But, Yankov spiked the K♦ on the river to win the hand with top pair.
As the pot got pushed to Yankov, Armin Rezaei commented to him, "You're indestructible!"
