Yong Plays His Face Up

David Salituro

Level 14 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

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.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Filip Aleksic bet 110,000 from the cutoff on a flop of A♦10♥10♠ and Cesar Garcia called in the small blind.

The turn was the Q♦ and Aleksic bet another 600,000. Garcia again called, and the 5♣ fell on the river. Aleksic then moved all in for 1,075,000.

Garcia ended up burning through five time banks and tanking for several minutes before folding. "Show the bluff. Good for the game," tablemate Thomas Hueber implored Aleksic, but he returned his cards face down.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Martin Dam limped in from the cutoff before Phillip Wuinscher raised to 110,000 on the button. Dam called, and they saw a flop of A♦J♣2♣.

Wuinscher then bet 130,000, and Dam moved all in. Wuinscher snap-called for 445,000.

Phillip Wuinscher: A♠A♥K♥4♦ All in
Martin Dam: A♣K♣9♠5♦

Wuinscher had flopped top set, but the Q♣ turn gave Dam the nut flush. Wuinscher needed to fill up on the river to survive, but he missed the 8♥ and was sent to the rail.

"Not your tournament, man. Sorry," tablemate Rob Yong consoled Wuinscher.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sergei Nesterenko raised to 75,000 in the cutoff before Maximilian Wieser reraised to 325,000 in the big blind. Nesterenko then moved all in, and Wieser called for 500,000.

Maximilian Wieser: A♦K♥J♦9♦ All in
Sergei Nesterenko: A♠Q♥Q♣4♥

The 9♥8♣6♥ flop kept Nesterenko in the lead with his queens, while the 7♥ turn improved him to a flush and left Wieser drawing dead. The river was the 9♠ and Wieser was sent to the rail.

At another table, a big pot was brewing between Espen Myrmo and Dafishh as they went to the river on a board of 7♦7♥Q♣6♥A♥ and around 800,000 already in the middle. Myrmo then bet 600,000 from the small blind, and Dafishh called under the gun.

Myrmo showed 8♥7♠7♣6♦ for quads. "No f**king way," Dafishh said as he flashed two queens.

"You lost the minimum," Myrmo told him.
