Yong Plays His Face Up

Thomas Eychenne raised to 105,000 in middle position before Rob Yong reraised to 360,000 in the hijack. "You know what I have," Yong told Eychenne.

"No, no. You can have other things," Eychenne replied as he called. Eychenne then moved all in for 600,000 on the J♥5♦7♥ flop, and Yong called.

Thomas Eychenne: K♠7♠6♣5♣ All in
Rob Yong: A♠A♦10♠2♣

Eychenne had flopped two pair to take the lead against Yong's aces, but the board ran out 4♠4♦ to give Yong aces and fours and the knockout.

"What hand can I have? He raised under the gun. I'm only going to do that with aces. It's my first PLO tournament," Yong added after the hand.
