Yong Shoves on Ladev, Bellande Calls Out His Hand

Rob Yong raised to 600,000 under the gun before Markkos Ladev three-bet to 1,500,000 in the cutoff. Yong called, and they saw a flop of 10♣9♥8♠.

Yong then moved all in, putting Ladev to a decision for his last 5,245,000. "I have a nine," Ladev said.

"You three-bet me with a nine?" Yong replied.

"I must admit. It looks suspicious. Call a three-bet and then shove all in. I look suspicious. If I had a set of tens I check. If I had a set of eights I check. If I have ace-ten I shove. If I have eight-nine I shove. If I have ten-nine I shove," Yong added.

"I couldn't compete with speech play with you," Ladev said before folding A♣9♣.

"He has jack-ten," Jean-Robert Bellande said, and Yong did indeed have J♥10♥ as he took the pot.

"And you say you're not the best player at the table," Yong replied.

"No, I've just played with you enough," Bellande added.
