Michael Soyza rails Jin Yong, soars to 470k


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.
