Yong Flushed Away After Flopping a Set

Richard Yong

Action folded to Gus Hansen in the hijack and he opened for 10,500. Richard Yong was next to act in the cutoff and three-bet to 30,000, which Paul Phua called from the small blind. Hansen made the call as well and it was three-way action to the {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop.

Phua and Hansen both checked, opening the door for Yong to bet 70,000. Phua got out of the way, Hansen moved all in, and Yong snap-called.

Showdown

Hansen{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Yong{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Yong had flopped the nuts with a set of kings, but Hansen was alive and drawing to a flush. Wouldn't you know it, the {10-Clubs} spiked on the river to complete the said draw, leaving Yong in need of a paired board on the river. The dealer burned and snapped off the {7-Hearts}, a blank for Yong.

It was a bad turn of events for Yong, who had a smile on his face as he shook hands with his opponents and made his exit in 14th place.

"I came to play," Hansen was heard saying after the hand.
