Yong Stays Alive in Three-Way Pot
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alexey Borovkov limped for 80,000 on the button, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called from the small blind, and Rob Yong was forced all in from the big blind.
The 6♥8♦5♥ flop was checked through, as was the 9♠ turn and 3♦ river.
Borovkov tabled J♠5♠, Vaskaboinikau showed K♦5♣ for the same pair with a better kicker, but Yong had 10♥9♦ for a pair of nines to win the pot and stay alive.
