Four-Way All-in Goes Yankov's Way

Tim Baker

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Arvin Verma opened to 2,500 under the gun with Seyed Dezfooli, Lars Brodin, Tomasz Krzesinski, and Damjan Radanov calling.

Krasimir Yankov then potted to 17,500 out of the big blind. Verma called before Dezfooli shoved for 32,800. Brodin called the all-in, Krzesinski and Radanov folded, but Yankov shoved for 94,200. Verma called for his lhis last 40,000 and Brodin called with the covering stack to put all three players at risk.

Krasimir Yankov: A?Q?7?6? All in
Arvin Verma: K?K?4?4? All in
Seyed Dezfooli: A?A?6?5? All in
Lars Brodin: 10?9?8?5?

The flop of 5?7?Q? put Yankov ahead with top two pair. The 2? turn didn't change anything and when the 3? came on the river Yankov's queens and sevens would win him the pot while eliminating Verman and Dezfooli. Brodin was left very short with just 35,000.
