Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

PokerNews was alerted to Table 4 by a few gasps from the players sat at it. Gor Kazaryan had opened the betting to 6,500 from under the gun and Tobias Matuschek had moved all in for 56,000. Ezequiel Waigel went over the top, making it 133,000 total. When the action came to Valery Yantsevich, he called and Gor Kazaryan open-folded ace-king. It turned out to be the correct decision when the cards were turned over.

Valery Yantsevich: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Tobias Matuschek: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Ezequiel Waigel: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Yantsevich scooped the lot for a monstrous lead in the counts now. Meanwhile, we imagine Gor Kazaryan is wishing he didn't make such a big lay down as he would have quadrupled his short stack.
