Yong and Ivey Trade Big Blind Antes; Yong Rivers Gutshot
No flops for a few hands. Action has included both players calling in the cutoff with [9cTd] (Yong) and [8s7c] (Ivey) only to fold to raises from their opponents (Yong at the time with [KsQc], then Ivey with [KdJd]).
Yong came out slightly ahead over these multiple small confrontations, then won the biggest pot of heads up so far after spiking a gutshot with [QcJh] on the river of a [6hAsKc8cTh] board. He bet 700,000, and Ivey used up two timebank cards before callin with [Kd8d] (two pair).
