Bellande Silences Yong, Briefly
Jean-Robert Bellande raised to 600,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Rob Yong in the big blind, who said, "Because of his skill level, I'm gonna just call".
Yong checked and before Bellande could act, Yong said, "You have to represent, or are you going to chicken out?". Bellande then bet 300,000, which Yong called.
An 8♥ came on the turn and Yong check-called a second barrel of 1,500,000 from Bellande.
Yong checked for the last time on the 4♦ river and after thinking for close to a minute, Bellande bet 3,800,000 with just a few chips behind.
Yong pondered for a while before folding A♥5♣ for top pair. Bellande pulled in the put with J♣10♥ for the nuts and then said to Yong,
"Nice fold Rob, nice fold Rob." Bellande then significantly increased the volume of his voice and began repeatedly shouting,
"Nice fold Rob! Nice fold Rob! Nice fold!"
