Yong Picks Off Bluff

Level 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Rob Yong

Rob Yong limped in from under the gun and Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 5,000. The rest of the table folded and Yong made the call.

The flop came {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Yong check-called a bet of 3,500 from Ponakovs. The {3-Spades} hit the turn and Yong checked again. Ponakovs quickly fired 14,000 and Yong made the call.

The {k-Hearts} completed the board and Yong checked a third time. Ponakovs took a moment before announcing a bet of 30,000. Yong took close to 20-seconds before tossing in a chip for the call.

Ponakovs tabled {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a queen-high bluff while Yong happily rolled over {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for two pair and the best hand.

"I admire a man who fires three bullets," said Yong while he stacked up his newly acquired chips.
