Yugay Turns a Straight to Bust One
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A player in the cutoff bet 12,000 on a flop of 6♣5♥3♣ and Viktor Yugay, in the big blind, then moved all in. His opponent quickly called for around 85,000.
All-In Player: 3♥2♥ 
Viktor Yugay: 4♦3♠
Both players had a pair of threes and a straight draw, but the 2♠ turn gave Yugay his straight and left his opponent needing help on the river. The dealer instead turned over the 8♦ and Yugay took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
At the same table, Day 1a chip leader Samir Nacer actually began the day with 1,031,500 and not 703,500 as initially reported.
