Yong Flushed Away After Flopping a Set
Action folded to Gus Hansen in the hijack and he opened for 10,500. Richard Yong was next to act in the cutoff and three-bet to 30,000, which Paul Phua called from the small blind. Hansen made the call as well and it was three-way action to the 
flop.
Phua and Hansen both checked, opening the door for Yong to bet 70,000. Phua got out of the way, Hansen moved all in, and Yong snap-called.

, a blank for Yong.
It was a bad turn of events for Yong, who had a smile on his face as he shook hands with his opponents and made his exit in 14th place.
"I came to play," Hansen was heard saying after the hand.
