Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Bixi Yao raised to 6,000 from under the gun and was immediately called by Daniel Yovchev in early position.
The dealer fanned out the 5♥A♦K♥ flop and Yao bet 5,000. The call was made to the J♠ turn, where Yao fired again for 12,000. Yovchev called again and the Q♠ river was revealed.
Yao sized down to 7,000 and Yovchev counted out the pot before tossing in the call. Yao showed A♣K♠ for two pair, taking down the pot as Yovchev shook his head and mucked.
