Yankov Bests Pointer
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Krasimir Yankov raised from under the gun to 1,200 and was called by Thomas Boivin on the button. John Pointer wanted to play a bigger pot from the big blind and raised it to 7,200. This led to a call from Yankov and a fold from Boivin.
Pointer opted to bet 5,000 on the 6♣6♠9♥ flop, and Yankov came along with a call to send them to a turn.
The 4♦ turn did not slow Pointer down, as he bet 12,000 on this street and was once again called by Yankov.
Pointer chose to go all-in and put Yankov at risk when the 5♦ hit the river. Yankov wasted no time calling for 21,800.
Pointer showed J♣J♦, but Yankov revealed that he pulled the rug from underneath Pointer on the turn when he showed 4♠4♥ for a full house.
