Igor Tregoubov Scores a Double Elimination
Level 6
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
With a flop reading 
and about 100,000 in the pot already, Arnold Yaxley led out for 75,000. Igor Tregoubov called and so did Nick Civitarese.
The turn was the 
and the action was checked around. When the dealer fanned the 
for the river, the action could not stop. Yaxley pushed all in for 640,000 and Tregoubov pondered his decision. After finally throwing in one chip to make the call, the action was now on Civitarese. He took far less time to splash his remaining 200,000 chips in. Tregoubov quickly showed his cards 
for a full house. The other two players both flashed a jack for the straight but it was not good enough. Tregoubov eliminated both his opponents as he looks to close in on the leaders.
