Tang Joins and Gives Chips to Yong
Level 5
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Devan Tang joined just before the break and just got into a big pot with defending Triton Main Event champion Wai Kin Yong. Yong opened to 5,500 on the cutoff and Jack Salter called in the small blind, as did Tang in the big blind.
On a flop of 
, both players in the blinds checked and Yong continued for 8,500. Salter folded and Tang check-raised to 25,100, which Yong called. Tang then fired the 
turn for 56,100 and Yong eventually called before the 
river let both players slow down. Tang reluctantly rolled over 
for a busted straight and flush draw, while Yong won the pot with 
for a pair of fives and flush draw that never arrived.
