Jerry Yang - eliminated

At the end, Jerry Yang seemed to have used up all his run-good. He was all in pre-flop as the short stack again. Annie Duke called with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

, the better hand to Yang's {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

.

At some point Duke figured to win one of these confrontations. This was the one. Each player paired the flop, {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

. But this time Yang didn't hit any additional cards, as the turn and river came {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and

{9-Hearts}

.

Yang will leave the tournament $75,000 richer. Duke will return for a semi-final match against Dennis Phillips.

"You didn't make it easy for me," said Duke as she gave Yang a hug.
