Yunusov Cracks Aces to Take the Chip Lead
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Andrei Mashinistov raised to 120,000 from middle position, and it folded to Milos Petakovic in the cutoff who three-bet to 330,000.
It then folded to the big blind Raul Yunusov who put in a four-bet all in for his stack of 5,000,000, and Mashinistov called for his stack of 2,700,000, getting Petakovic out of the way.
Andrei Mashinistov: A♠A♥
Raul Yunusov: 7♥7♣
Mashintov woke up with aces, and was looking poised for a double up after the 6♦Q♦8♣ flop. But the 9♠ on the turn gave Yunusov an open-ender as extra outs, and that draw came right in when the 10♣ hit on the river, and Yunusov was able to crack Mashinistov's aces, eliminate him, and take the chip lead.
