Breaking News: Rob Yong Dead

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Rob Yong, owner of Dusk Till Dawn, opened to 1,500 and was called by Brendan McDermott. The blinds folded and we saw a flop of {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

Young continued for 2,500. McDermott was going nowhere and called the bet. The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Yong was handed the all-in button as he dropped his remaining stack, just under 10,000, over the line. McDermott called. Yong showed the {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the flush but McDermott turned over the {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the better flush.

“Arghh I’m dead,” groaned Yong. Indeed he was as the inconsequential {K-Spades} fell on the river.

He will be missed.
