Hand #1 - Jerry Yang

Hand #1 - Raymond Rahme has the button in seat 1, Jerry Yang raises from under the gun to 1.4 million, and Jon Kalmar calls from late position. The flop comes {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades}, Yang bets 2.5 million, and Kalmar folds. Jerry Yang takes the first pot worth 3.43 million.

Note: The opening raise sounds suspiciously high, but that's the number that Tournament Director Jack Effel announced. On the second hand, he misannounced the opening raise as 1.5 million, before correcting himself down to 750,000. It's possible he made the same mistake on Hand #1, meaning the actual raise might have been closer to 700,000. We may never know until we see it on ESPN.
