Yong's Set is Good
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Three ways on a flop of 10♣J♦3♠, a player in early position checked and Alexis Tremblay checked behind from middle position. Cassandra Yong bet 3,500 from the hijack and both her opponents called.
The player in early position checked again on the 8♥ turn and Tremblay led out for 8,000. Only Yong called.
The 9♣ river brought a four-liner on board and both players checked.
Tremblay held A♦9♦ for a rivered pair of nines and Yong turned over 3♣3♥ for a flopped set.
"The board kept getting worse and worse!" Yong said as she collected the pot.
