Yong Takes the Pole Position
Level 15
: 0/0, 30,000 ante
Cary Katz limped with 
, Richard Yong overlimped with 
and Kenneth Kee raised to 400,000 in position, holding 
. Both of his opponents called and the flop and turn of the 
board remained checked.
Yong rivered a straight and he fired 600,000. Kee considered his hand good for a bluff-catch and paid the price while Katz folded. Yong showed the ten-high straight and raked in the pot to seize the chip lead.
