Radanov Hangs On to Bust El Yaacoubi
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Rachid El Yaacoubi and Damjan Radanov built a pot of nearly 100,000 as they went heads-up to a flop of Q♣9♣6♦. El Yaacoubi then bet 60,000 from early position, Radanov moved all in from the big blind, and El Yaacoubi called for his last 160,000.
Rachid El Yaacoubi: K♣J♦5♦3♣ 
Damjan Radanov: A♣A♥9♠9♥
Radanov had a set of nines, while El Yaacoubi was on straight and flush draws. The 2♠ turn was safe for Radanov, while the A♠ river gave him a better set to secure the pot and send El Yaacoubi to the rail.
Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Anson Tsang is also at this table.
