Yankov Cracks Hissou's Set to Score Unlikely Double
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Krasimir Yankov limped in from the small blind and Sirzat Hissou raised to 10,000 from the big blind. Yankov three-bet to 40,000 and Hissou made the call.
The flop came J?9?2? and Yankov bet 50,000. Hissou raised enough to put Yankov all in and Yankov, who had 116,000 behind, made the call to put himself at risk.
Krasimir Yankov: A?K? 
Sirzat Hissou: 9?9?
Hissou was a huge favorite with middle set while Yankov was drawing only to a running straight. He picked up the gutshot on the Q? turn before the straight came in on the 10? river giving Yankov a full double up at Hissou's expense.
