Yong Takes One From Hansen
The flop read when Richard Yong checked to Gus Hansen who fired out 5,600. Yong went into the tank for quite some time and Paul Phua wanted to seize the moment for a bathroom run.
As Phua was leaving the room Yong decided to call. Phua came running back to the table to see if Yong either called or folded. Phua was sitting on a short stack and did not want to miss any chance to double up.
"You have to think longer!" Phua jokingly said to Yong who had indeed made the call. Phua was safe to leave while Hansen burst out in laughter over the comment Phua made.
The turn brought the and Yong checked to Hansen who chuckled as he bet 16,600. Yong had the amount confirmed before he made the call once more.
The river brought the and Yong checked again. Hansen put together a bet worth 36,600 and Yong quickly made the call.
"I don't think I win," Hansen said right before Yong turned over .
"Nice hand," the Great Dane added as he threw his cards towards the muck. Yong is still down for the day but almost back up to the starting stack.
