Yan Scores Another Big Knockout to Move Into the Chip Lead
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
David Yan just busted another opponent in a massive pot, moving into contention for the chip lead on the last level of the night.
Yan was on the button and opened to 20,000 before Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 80,000 in the small blind. Yan then moved all in and Badziakouski called for 460,000, creating a pot worth nearly 1,000,000.
Mikita Badziakouski: 9♦9♠ 
David Yan: K♠K♣
Badziakouski had run his pair of nines into Yan's kings as the flop came 8♠Q♠J♥, giving him additional outs with a straight draw. The K♦ turn improved Yan to a set, while the river was the 2♥ and Yan scooped the massive pot to send Badziakouski to the rail.
