Yong Edges in Front
Level 23
: 75,000/150,000, 25,000 ante
Richard Yong has edged slightly in front of Manig Loeser in the early portion of their heads-up battle and while Loeser picked off a Yong river bluff with king-high, which was in front of Yong’s nine-high, Yong won a decent sized pot to edge into the lead in the very next hand.
Yong limped the button and Loeser checked the big blind and the dealer spread the 
flop, which Loeser led for 225,000.
Yong made a quick call and the 
turn saw the action go check , check to bring both players to the 
river.
Loeser checked it over to Yong, who fired for 500,000 and after thinking it over the German player made the call, but threw his hand into the muck face down when Yong rolled over 
for rivered trip threes.
