Michael Soyza shipped in a huge pot by taking down Jin Yong’s big stack. The hand began with Yong raising to 7500 from utg+1, Soyza three-bet to 20k from the hijack seat, then Yong with the flat-call.
On the flop 3♦ 9♣ 7♣, Yong checked, Soyza continued with a 23k bet, and Yong called. On the 2♦ turn, Yong checked it again, Soyza banged out 57k, and this time Yong check-raised it all in for around 120k total. Soyza called.
Yong 8♣ 8♠
Soyza A♦ 5♦
Though Yong was ahead with his pair, the river Q♦ pushed Soyza ahead with his nut flush and down fell Yong. Soyza sits with around 470k.
