Yang Wang Going Strong

Peter Zipperer opened up the action on table 34 from middle position with a raise to 110,000. Rene Wolech called next to act, with Markus Cerny coming along from the button, before Yang Wang sorted the men from the boys with a 3-bet to 550,000 from the big blind.

Zipperer and Wolech quickly folded, while Cerny thought for a while before making the call. Both players checked the flop, with Wang making a very small continuation bet of 250,000 on the turn. Cerny studied the board, counted his remaining chips, glanced back at the board and sighed as he threw his hand into the muck.

Yang still has his foot firmly on the gas, playing some very aggressive poker and brandishing a stack worth more than three million, with just 76 players left in Day 2a.
