Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Espen Jorstad called on the button and Rob Yong opted to check.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, Jorstad bet 16,000 for Yong to check-shove with the bigger stack. Jorstad called.

Espen Jorstad: {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Rob Yong: {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The rail which consisted mostly of Luxon Pay employees and their guests flooded the feature table stage to cheer Yong on who had flopped top pair against the flush draw of Jorstad.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} for Yong to improve to two pair to leave Jorstad hoping for a jack for the straight draw or a club for the flush. But the river completed the board with the {k-Spades} instead for everyone to cheer as Yong and Jorstad shook hands. Jorstad laid claim to $52,600 while Yong has just won his first-ever tournament for $87,000 and the One Drop trophy.

A full recap is to follow.
