Yurasov Hits Two Pair to Double
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 8♣5♥2♠, a player on the button bet 26,000 before Dmitry Yurasov moved all in for 33,000 in the big blind. The button called to put him at risk.
Dmitry Yurasov: A♣8♦ 
Opponent: J♣8♥
Yurasov was ahead with his pair of eights, ace-kicker as the A♥ turn improved him to two pair and left his opponent drawing dead. The river was the 4♣ and Yurasov doubled up.
Adam Walton, last year's third-place finisher, is also at this table.
