Yankov Wins Four-Way All-In
There was carnage over on table 40 when Dario Alioto committed his 100,000 stack shortly after entering the tournament again and he was joined in the festivities by Javier Francort. Krasimir Yankov looked up both of them with the marginally covering stack while Bouwe Claushuis also called with the far larger stack and enthusiastically exclaimed "dealer, please choose me".
On the 10♦8♣3♠ flop, the last 14,500 of Yankov also went into the middle as well and all four players tabled their cards.
Dario Alioto: K♥K♦7♣2♦ 
Javier Francort: A♦K♠10♣2♠
Krasimir Yankov: 9♥8♠6♥5♦
Bouwe Claushuis: Q♦J♦J♥10♥
The 5♣ turn gave Yankov the lead with two pair, which he improved to a better two pair on the 6♣ river, to knock out Alioto and Francort, while doubling in the small side pot against Claushuis.
Alioto and Francort both re-entered subsequently.
