Level 3 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Liang Yu opened to 16,000, and Richard Yong made the call.

Yu went all in on the flop, a bet size large enough to put Yong at risk if he called. Yong did make the call.

Richard Yong:
Liang Yu:

Yong was well ahead on the flop, and his trip nines held through on the turn and river. Yu is down to 35,000 on the first of his three bullets in the triple chance format.
