Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Jerry Yang

With 13,700 in front of him, Jerry Yang waited for his opponent to make his next move. His opponent went all in and had Yang covered. Yang was sitting with 26,000 and called. He had {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and was up against pocket aces, {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, giving Yang a set. The {7-Spades} turn and {5-Hearts} river didn't change anything, and Yang earned the double-up.
