Under the Gun Raises
Are the players getting monster hands in early position or are they shifting gears and playing aggressively? It's hard to tell without seeing the hole cards. But we'll keep an eye on any future UTG raises.

Hand #8 - Jerry Yang
Hand #9 - Jerry Yang Takes an 11.63 Million Pot
The flop comes , Childs bets 3 million, and Yang immediately moves all in. Childs stands up and turns around with his back to the table while he thinks. He clearly wasn't expecting Yang to push.
Jerry Yang has about 770,000 more in chips than Childs, so Childs would be calling with his tournament life at stake. Childs sits back down to the table as he thinks for about three minutes.
Childs eventually folds, showing pocket queens. Jerry Yang takes the pot worth 11.63 million.
Hand #10 - Lee Watkinson
Last 10 Hands: 1-10
On Hand #9, Jerry Yang was the first player to move all in. He pushed Lee Childs off a pot, who folded pocket Queens (and showed). Yang won the largest pot so far at the final table, worth over 11.63 million.
There were not any hands that went to the river. Only one hand went as deep as the turn. The were five total flops and five of the hands were won by pre-flop raisers.
Phil Hilm is still the chipleader with 23.3 million, but Jerry Yang jumped up to third place in chips. He's up to 20 million.
