Yankov Hits the Perfect Turn
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
On a board of 8♥J♦5♦K♠ Gang Zhou checked over to Krasimir Yankov. Yankov took a decent amount of time to ponder his options and finally came to the decision that 10,000 was the correct amount to bet. Zhou also waited a moment before making the call.
The river 2♥ was a total brick. Yet again Zhao checked, and yet again Yankov started thinking, and eventually shoved his 34,900 stack. Zhao clearly was in an uncomfortable spot, and went deep into the tank. After a little while, he rechecked his cards, thought some more, and flicked in a single 100 denomination chip, signifying a call.
Yankov confidently showed the table the nuts, in the form of K♦K♣ and Zhou mucked.
