Yanovsky Talks His Way Into a Double

On a heads-up flop of 2♠6♥3♠, Alan Goasdoue checked to Eric Yanovsky who then bet 3,500 into the pot of around 5,000 but then Goasdoue check-raised him to 9,000.

Yanovsky did not think that number was quite large enough and clicked it back to 18,000.

Goasdoue looked slightly puzzled by this move but eventually made the call and the two players went ot the turn J♥.

Goasdoue checked to Yanovsky, who then thought for a few moments before he announced that he was all in for around 23,000.

Goasdoue then went deep into the tank for several minutes, during which point he and Yanovsky engaged in some table talk.

"You've either got ace-five of hearts or pocket nines, huh?" Yanovsky said to him, "What are you thinking about so much?"

"Oh, I'm just counting the butterflies," Goasdoue joked as he pointed to Aria's interior decor.

After another minute of this, Goasdoue finally made the call and indeed had 9♠9♦ just as Yanovsky predicted while he himself rolled over J♣J♠ for top set of jacks.

"See! I don't bluff!" Yanovsky declared as the board completed with the 8♦ to secure his victory in the massive pot.

Yanovsky now is sitting with a huge stack of 95,000 while Goasdoue is left with around 8,000.
