Yanev on the Attack

Yani Yanev (above, right) goes into heads-up play with Richard Harris with a big chip deficit but no fear whatsoever. He’s hardly said a word at this final table, Yanev, while Harris has been more than happy to chat. But then, Harris has had the cards – pairs of tens and queens from five-handed play putting his in this enviable position.

Richard Harris – 37 million chips

Yani Yanev – 11 million chips

The opening exchange saw Yanev call Richard’s raise to 750k, see a flop of [pc5cAs5s[/pc] and then check the flop and turn to a river of whereupon Yani bet 500k. Richard called, was shown Yani’s and mucked. First blood to Yani Yanev.
