Yong Jams, O'Dwyer Folds

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Richard Yong continues to accrue chips and is slowly grinding O'Dwyer down. Yong called the button and O'Dwyer checked his option in the blind.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} with O'Dwyer checking the action over to Yong, who bet 20,000, which O'Dwyer called.

O'Dywer checked the {q-Clubs} turn and Yong moved all-in, bringing a grudging fold from his opponent.

Four-Bet Jam by Yong

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 36,000 with the {Q-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Richard Yong called with the {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. On the {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, Yong checked and called a bet worth 42,000 by O'Dwyer to see the {7-Spades} on the turn. Yong checked and a bet of 90,000 did the trick to force a fold from Yong, bumping the American with Irish roots back above one million in chips.

Yong then raised to 35,000 with the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, O'Dwyer three-bet to 110,000. Yong moved all in and that forced an instant fold, his rail including son Wai Kin Yong cheered.

Isaac Haxton Eliminated in 3rd Place (HKD1,235,000/$157,327)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Isaac Haxton moved all in for 201,000 on the button and Richard Yong called out of the big blind.

Isaac Haxton: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Richard Yong: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop improved Yong to top pair, and the {7-Diamonds} turn was a blank for Haxton, who was drawing to an ace only. Instead, the {J-Hearts} on the river changed nothing and the field was reduced from four to just two in back-to-back hands. Haxton headed to the rail in 3rd place for HKD1,235,000 (~$157,327).

There will now be a short 10-minute break to set up the duel for the title in Montenegro and Steve O'Dwyer has a solid 2-1 lead over Yong.

Winfred Yu Eliminated in 4th Place (HKD864,000/$110,065)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Winfred Yu
Winfred Yu

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 27,000 with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Winfred Yu three-bet to 82,000 with the {7-Spades}{5-Spades}. After verifying the amount with the dealer, O'Dwyer called and the duo headed to the flop of {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

O'Dwyer checked and Yu stared over at his opponent before betting 105,000 and O'Dwyer called. The {8-Spades} appeared on the turn and Yu moved all in for 356,000, O'Dwyer called with his set. Yu had plenty of outs with his straight and flush draw, but the blank {A-Clubs} river failed to improve him to send a massive pot to O'Dwyer.

Yu was eliminated in 4th place for HKD$864,000 (~$110,065) and O'Dwyer became the first player to jump over one million in chips.
