Steve Yagudaev

Manny Minaya opened to 25,000 from early position and Evan Teitelbaum called in middle position. Steve Yagudaev moved all in from the button for 95,000.

Minaya thought for a second, called the shove, and he was followed by Teitelbaum coming along as well. Minaya tossed in 125,000 after the Tc3s2d flop and Teitelbaum took some time to think it out. He eventually released and gave the table a little self-congratulatory slap when Minaya tabled his hand.

Minaya: 2c2h
Yagudaev: AhKc

Yagudaev’s hopes were in a lot of trouble against bottom set and he was drawing dead after the 6s turn.

Meanwhile in a bit of shocking news, returning Day 2 chip leader David Prociak was exiting the tournament as Minaya was winning his hand.

Manny Minaya – 735,000 (61 bb)
Steve Yagudaev – Eliminated in 131st ($1,200)
