Hand #82: Nikolai Yakovenko Eliminated in 4th Place ($170,773)

Nikolai Yakovenko min-raises under the gun to 100,000, and Dave Inselberg calls from the big blind. The flop comes [Kc8s7s], Inselberg checks, Yakovenko bets 50,000, and Inselberg check-raises to 150,000. Yakovenko thinks for more than a minute before he says, "I’m all in."

Inselberg immediately calls with [Ks8c] for top two pair, and Yakovenko turns over [AdAh] for an overpaid. Yakovenko needs to improve to stay alive.

The turn is the [3s], the river is the [9c], and Inselberg wins the pot with two pair, kings and eights. Nikolai Yakovenko is eliminated in fourth place, earning $170,773.
