Mikhno Makes a Straight to Send Yildirim to the Payout Desk
Level 20
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
All of the chips went in the middle before the flop, and Arif Yildirim was at risk for his last 1,155,000 against Stepan Mikhno with both hands on their backs.
Arif Yildirim: A?8? 
Stepan Mikhno: 10?9?
Yildirim had the lead with ace-high, but the Q?10?8? flop gave Mikhno a pair of tens. The J? hit the turn, improving Mikhno to a straight, and the 7? landed on the river.
