Yankov Among the Chip Leaders
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of 
, Krasimir Yankov checked to Turbo Nguyen who made it 12,000 to go. Yankov then check-raised to 47,000 and Nguyen went into a brief tank. He then shook his head and mucked the 
face-up.
Yankov flashed one card and Nguyen inquired "queen-ten?", which was indeed confirmed as Yankov flashed the 
for the top two pair. "You owe me one," the Bulgarian told his opponent before buying off all the T-500 denominations for the chip race.
