Hirs Doubles; Yuan Loses Two in a Row

Damir Gabdullin raised to 40,000 from the hijack, and Yilu Yuan called from the big blind.

Yuan check-called Gabdullin's bet of 30,000 on the 9♠2♣J♣ flop before check-folding when Gabdullin fired a second barrel of 115,000 on the 5♣ turn.

The following hand, Aliaksandr Hirs moved all in for 120,000 from the hijack, and Yuan called from the small blind.

Aliaksandr Hirs: 10♥7♣ All in
Yilu Yuan: 9♣9♠

Hirs had picked his spot with ten-high and looked to be heading for the exit after the 6♦J♣K♣ flop and 3♦ turn failed to improve him.

However, he needed a ten and found one on the 10♠ river to keep his tournament hopes alive.
