Yong Misreads the Board
Level 15
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Emilien Pitavy raised to 200,000 in the cutoff, Jean-Robert Bellande three-bet to 705,000 in the big blind, and Pitavy folded.
Pitavy again opened to 200,000 the next hand, and Bellande and Rob Yong called in the blinds.
All three players checked to the river on a board of 6♥4♦3♥A♣8♥. Yong then bet 600,000 and Pitavy folded.
"Seven makes a straight. I don't know why it's taking so long," Yong said to Bellande.
"Seven makes what? I might call you if you think that," Bellande replied.
He eventually folded, and Yong showed the 7♦ as he took the pot. "I misread the board," he admitted.
"This should be on TV," Daniel Rezaei added.
