Yang Comes From Behind For a Massive Double
Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Christopher Campisano raised to 500,000 under the gun before Gary Tatavarti three-bet to 1,600,000 in early position. Xiaohua Yang then moved all in for 6,550,000 in the big blind and Campisano folded, while Tatavarti took around two minutes before calling. "Huge hand here, guys. Huge hand," a player at the other table yelled out as several came over to watch.
Xiaohua Yang: A♥10♥ 
Gary Tatavarti: A♦Q♣
Tatavarti slammed down his cards when he found out he had Yang dominated. The flop, though, was 10♦4♥3♥ and Yang not only made top pair but picked up the nut flush draw. The turn was the 6♠, while the 9♥ river improved Yang to a flush and earned him the massive double up.
"Nice hand," Tatavarti said as he handed over the chips.
