Yong Takes Chips from Sainjargal Too

Level 11 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Amarbayasgalan Sainjargal raised to 5,000 from under the gun and Rob Yong defended his big blind.

They both checked through the {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop to the {5-Diamonds} on the turn. Yong fired a bet of 10,000 out and Sainjargal made the call.

The river completed the board with the {3-Spades} and Yong barreled a bet of 30,000 over the line. Sainjargal took some time, cut out calling chips, and then made the call. Yong turned over the {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for the flopped straight which was enough for Sainjargal to muck his hand.
