Yong Survives His First All-In Today
Level 22
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Rob Yong limped from the small blind and Phil Ivey raised to 1,900,000 from the big blind. Yong limp-jammed for 12,900,000, causing Ivey to go into the tank. After around two minutes, Ivey called for about half of his stack.
Rob Yong: A♥Q♦ 
Phil Ivey: A♦10♣
Yong was all-in at risk for the first time on Day 3, and just needed a safe board to double through Ivey.
The Q♥2♥J♣ flop gave Yong top pair, but Ivey had a straight draw. Ivey picked up some more outs on the 8♠ turn, but the 7♣ river didn't provide Ivey with a straight, and around half of his chips were sent over to Yong.
