.
Ivey checked and Yong put him at risk for 66,000 effective. Ivey thought for a bit and then placed his chips in.
He binked the 
on the turn and Yong was drawing dead as he couldn't recover against Ivey's nut straight. The 
river was a formality and Ivey doubled to 216,000, sending Yong on a short stack.
