Ben Yacov Hits Runner-Runner To Triple
Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Amit Ben Yacov raised to 2,100,000 from middle position and small blind Juan Lapido called. Big blind Sascha Wilhelm raised to 8,400,000 and Ben Yacov called for in total 6,575,000. Lapido looked at the clock, counted his stack, and ultimately made the call.
The flop was dealt Q?10?A? and a quick check followed from Lapido, but an even quicker all-in bet from Wilhelm came after that. Lapido didn't waste any time folding and they opened up.
Amit Ben Yacov: K?K?9?8? 
Sascha Wilhelm: A?A?8?4?
The 7? provided a lifeline for Ben Yacov who then hit a straight on the 6? river to triple up and stay alive in the tournament.
