Yaghmai Snaps Off Matafonov

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Nariman Yaghmai, who reentered after busting earlierin the day, bet 30,000 on a flop of {q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and was called by Denis Matafonev in the big blind.

The turn came the {6-Hearts} and Yaghmai bet another 31,500. Matafonev tanked for a moment before pushing forward his remaining stack, about 60,000 more, and Yaghmai snap-called.

Matafonev, sensing that he was beat, got out of his chair before turning over {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Yaghmai showed {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a set and held on through the {7-Diamonds} river to send Matafonov to the rail.
