Dmitry Yurasov Clashes with Gavin Cochrane to Take the New Chip Lead

Aug 4, 2020

Gavin Cochrane raises under the gun with Diamond KDiamond 10 and Dmitry Yurasov peels Heart KDiamond Q on the button. The flop is the Spade QDiamond 7Club J and Cochrane continues with an open-ended straight draw, Yurasov calls with his top pair.

The Spade 6 turn sees a barrel from Cochrane, who uses his stack to continue to pressure his opponent. Yurasov isn’t fazed though and makes the call.

With around 9 million in the pot at this point, Cochrane three-barrels 11.9 million, which is enough to put Yurasov all in. The Russian enters the tank for 30 seconds or so before calling for his tournament life.

That gutsy call puts him in a commanding chip-lead position, while Cochrane is down into middle of the pack.

Dmitry Yurasov – 29.5 million
Gavin Cochrane – 19 million
