John "The Razor" Phan just became the first player to secure a spot in the money after making quick work of 2007 WSOP Main Event winner Jerry Yang.

Yang opened the pot with a preflop raise, Phan countered with a reraise, Yang moved all in and Phan made the call:

Phan: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}
Yang: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

Yang was able to collect a couple of extra outs after the flop came queen high with two hearts, but a third king on the turn for Phan spelled the end for Jerry Yang.
