Yankov Claims Double Knockout
In the next hand, Dennis Weiss moved all in for 2,400 from under the gun, and received calls from Javier Francort in the next seat, Michael Tabarelli in the cutoff, and Krasimir Yankov on the button, before Bouwe Claushuis potted it to 14,800 from the small blind.
Francort and Yankov made the call to make it three active players to the 9♠7♦6♦ flop.
Claushuis checked, Francort fired out a pot-sized bet of 54,000, and Yankov snap jammed for around 130,000. Francort made the quick call, who was just covered by Yankov.
Dennis Weiss: 9♣9♦Q♥4♣
Javier Francort: Q♦J♦10♣9♥
Krasimir Yankov: A♦4♦7♠3♠
Weiss was ahead with top set nines. Francort had top pair, a flush draw, and a straight draw, while Yankov had second pair, a straight draw, and the nut flush draw.
The K♦ hit on the turn to propel Yankov into the lead with the flush, leaving Francort drawing dead, and Weiss did not fill up on the J♥ river.
An almost triple-up for Yankov, who proceeded to engage in a conversation with Claushuis as to who was ahead when the money went in, which seemed to have a slight edge to it.
