Kovalchuk Gets There on Yidamakanti

Andriy Kovalchuk moved all in preflop and was called by Sai Yidamakanti to put him at risk.

Kovalchuk: [Qd8d]

Yidamakanti: [9h9c]

The flop came out [6d9d3s] to give Yidamakanti top set of nines, but as poker players know, it's always a sweat as Kovalchuk had a flush draw.

Surprisingly, Kovalchuk did not hit a flush but instead went runner-runner [7c10s] for a straight to score the double.

Kovalchuk - 320,000

Yidamakanti - 130,000
