Radanov Hangs On to Bust El Yaacoubi
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Rachid El Yaacoubi and Damjan Radanov built a pot of nearly 100,000 as they went heads-up to a flop of Q?9?6?. El Yaacoubi then bet 60,000 from early position, Radanov moved all in from the big blind, and El Yaacoubi called for his last 160,000.
Rachid El Yaacoubi: K?J?5?3? 
Damjan Radanov: A?A?9?9?
Radanov had a set of nines, while El Yaacoubi was on straight and flush draws. The 2? turn was safe for Radanov, while the A? river gave him a better set to secure the pot and send El Yaacoubi to the rail.
Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Anson Tsang is also at this table.
