Rob Yong Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,000,000)
Level 23
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Rob Yong raised to 1,500,000 on the button and Jean-Robert Bellande called in the big blind.
The flop came J♦9♦3♠ and Yong bet 2,000,000. Bellande called, and the A♥ fell on the turn.
Yong then bet 3,000,000, and Bellande again called. The river was the 5♥ and Yong moved all in for 14,270,000. Bellande snap-called.
Yong showed 5♦4♦ for a pair of fives, but Bellande had K♦J♠ for a pair of jacks to win the hand and the title.
"You called with a jack?" Yong said.
"You went all in with a five?" Bellande, leaning back in his chair drinking his ever-present wine glass, replied.
"Round of applause for JRB," Yong shouted out to the rail as he headed off to the rail.
