Yakovlev Finds an Action Turn
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Mikhail Yakovlev raised to 2,400 from under the gun, receiving three calls behind him.
The action checked to Yakovlev, who continued for 3,500 on the 9?K?2? flop. Mathieu Di Meglio in the hijack called, while the button and big blind folded.
The Q? turn saw Yakovlev slow down with a check. Di Meglio bet out 4,000 and Yakovlev check-raised, moving all in for 13,200. Di Meglio called.
Mikhail Yakovlev: J?10? 
Mathieu Di Meglio: K?Q?
The turn had given Di Meglio two pair, but it had also improved Yakovlev to a straight. The 6? river changed nothing and Yakovlev doubled up.
