Yong Spikes River Two-Outer to Double Through Rudoy
First hand after two tables became one, Wai Kin Yong shoved when it folded to him in the hijack with the mighty [AhKh]. Next to act Mikhail Rudoy asked for a count (1,350,000) then rejammed with [JsJh]. Everyone else folded (including Cary Katz with [QhQc]) and the cards were on their backs.
Rudoy flopped a set: [JcAcTh] and with the [8d] turn, Yong was drawing to one of two queens left in the deck to make his straight. Lo and behold: there it was on the river – [Qd]. Yong doubles and is now in possession of a very healthy stack.
