Yan Takes Chunk Out of Amsellem in Huge Pot
Mikita Badziakouski opened to 25,000 from early position and was called by Day 2 chip leader Jacob Amsellem and David Yan in the blinds.
On the J♣8♣4♦ flop, action was checked to Badziakouski, who put out a bet of 25,000. Amsellem called.
Yan than reached for chips and produced a check-raise to 85,000. Badziakouski called.
Amsellem pondered the spot for a moment, then announced he was all-in, covering both of his opponents.
Yan took a time bank and called to put himself at risk. Badziakouski looked slightly perplexed by the action that had developed, and somewhat reluctantly put his hand in the muck.
David Yan: 8♥8♠ 
Jacob Amsellem: K♣9♣
Yan was ahead with his middle set of eights, but had plenty of outs to dodge against Amsellem's flush draw.
The 2♦ turn was a brick, but the 2♣ rolled off on the river to give Amsellem the flush, but also improved Yan to a full house.
Yan scooped a monster pot while Amsellem endured serious damage to his stack.
