Domination Nation Doesn't Matter

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #58: Olivier Busquet opened for 100,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and Rono Lo three-bet to 245,000 from middle position. Action folded back to Busquet and he figured out what was going on and promptly released his hand.

Hand #59: Daniel Colman raised to 110,000 with the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Richard Yong called from the big blind with the {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop saw Yong lead out for 110,000. Colman popped it to 285,000, and it worked as Yong released his hand.

Hand #60: Paul Phua raised to 110,000 from the cutoff with the {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Olivier Busquet decided to three-bet from the big blind with the not-so-glamorous {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The three-bet worked as Phua folded his hand.

Hand #61: Cates opened with a raise to 100,000 holding the {a-Spades}{8-Spades} only to have Richard Yong three-bet all in for 535,000 with the inferior {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Of course Cates didn't know he was good or he'd have called in a heartbeat, but as it was he had to give it some thought before calling the additional 435,000.

"It's domination nation for Richard Yong," Joe Stapleton said on the live stream. Indeed it was, and even more so when the flop fell a dry {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. A moment later, the dealer burned and turned the {6-Diamonds}. Yong was all smiles after getting lucky, and the rest of the table would have to wait for the first elimination as the {10-Spades} blanked on the river.
