Yen Does it Again
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Simon Lam opened to 17,000 in late position, Tzu Yen, who barely survived the bubble, three-bet all in for 190,000 on the button, and Mauro Villegas tanked for a considerable amount of time before cold-calling in the small blind. The big blind and Lam quickly folded.
Yen: 
Villegas: 
Yen was dominated, but the flop fell 
, giving Yen an ace-high flush draw. Villegas held one of Yen's outs, but it didn't matter as the 
turned. A meaningless 
completed the board, and Yen doubled to 400,000 chips. Villegas slipped to 105,000.
