Yang Chips Up

2007 WSOP Main Event champ Jerry Yang returned to an above average stack for today's Day 3, and just now came a hand in which he added more to it.

We picked this one up on the flop with the board showing {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and about 7,500 already in the middle. Yang's opponent, playing from under the gun, fired a bet of 5,300, and Yang called from a couple of seats over. The turn was the {3-Clubs}, after which Yang's opponent bet 10,000. Yang called once more.

The river brought the {6-Clubs}, and this time the UTG player checked. Yang took the opportunity to bet 21,000, and after thinking for more than two minutes his opponent let his hand go.
