Yerofieiev Full House Secures Him the Pot

Level 5: 200 / 400 ante: 400
Ihor Yerofieiev

Ihor Yerofieiev opened under the gun to 5,000 and was called by Minh Truong Nguyen in late position and Yang Yang in the big blind.


The flop came 7 Q 7. After a check from Yang, Yerofieiev shoved all-in and was called by Nguyen, putting Yerofieiev's tournament life at risk. Yang folded, and the two remaining players went to the showdown.


The runout came 3 T, and Yerofieiev revealed Q Q for a full house on the flop. Nguyen, unable to improve, mucked his hand as Yerofieiev scooped the pot.
