Big-O

Nikolai Yakovenko raised to 85,000 from under the gun, and Howard Smith called from the big blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, and Smith checked. Yakovenko bet 120,000, Smith check-raised to put Yakovenko to a decision for his stack, and Yakovenko called to put himself at risk.

Yakovenko: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Smith: {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Yakovenko had the lead with the nut straight, but Smith had outs to make a flush or a boat. The {5-Spades} turn wasn't one of them, and neither was the {Q-Spades} river, so Yakovenko scooped the pot to double up.
