Lonis Puts Yong to the Test
Level 21
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jesse Lonis called from the small blind with Q♣4♥ and Rob Yong checked from the big blind holding 7♠6♣.
Lonis led out for 800,000 when the Q♥7♥2♠ flop came down, and Yong continued in the form of a call.
The 4♠ turn caused Lonis to check, which allowed Yong to bet 1,600,000. Lonis check-raised to 4,900,000, and Yong called to see a river.
Lonis jammed the 3♠ river and Yong went into a rare tank. Yong had 12,075,000 remaining in his stack, and after around a minute of pondering, returned his cards to the dealer, and the pot went over to Lonis.
