Sternheimer Busts Yong
Richard Yong has busted at the hands of Philip Sternheimer. According to Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier, here's what happened.
Jeff Rossiter raised from under the gun, Sternheimer called from the next seat, and Yong called from the big blind. The flop came down 
with two spades, and Yong checked. Rossiter bet 9,500, and Sternheimer called. Yong check-raised to 30,000, then Rossiter folded. Sternheimer called.
The turn was an offsuit 
, and Yong bet 60,000. Sternheimer raised to 131,000, and Yong tank-shoved. Yong was all in for right around 200,000, and Sternheimer quickly made the call.
Sternheimer had turned a straight with pocket sixes while Yong had flopped a set of threes. The river didn't pair the board in Yong's favor when a

Immediately, Yong wanted to re-enter and was waving his credit card around in the air in his seat, wanting to re-enter into the same seat.

Meanwhile, Sternheimer collected the pot and moved to 585,000 in chips.
