Kee Takes Heaps From Yong
Level 18
: 0/0, 60,000 ante
Cary Katz peeled 
and called under the gun, prompting a 560,000-raise from Richard Yong who had 
in the cutoff. Kenneth Kee called on the button with 
and Katz also matched the price.
The dealer spread out a flop of 
and Yong fired 850,000. Kee was in a great spot with top two pair on the dry flop and he smooth-called. Katz let his hand go.
The 
turn was disastrous for Yong as he spiked inferior two pair. Yong checked, Kee blasted 1.7 million and Yong called.
The 
river improved Kee's hand into a full house but Yong's two pair was counterfeited so it hurt Kee's chances to get more value. Yong checked, Kee bet 2 million and Yong quickly laid his hand down. Kee showed him the full house.
