Yang History

World Champion Jerry Yang opened the betting on this particular hand, making it 1,000 to skate. J.C. Tran put in a reraise to 3,000, and another player moved all in behind them from the cutoff for a total of 6,800. Yang was covered by the bet, and he and Tran both called. The cards were turned up:

Yang: {A-Spades} {7-Spades}
Tran: {K-?} {K-?}
Cutoff: {A-?} {K-?}

The board ran out {5-Hearts} {3-Spades} {8-Clubs} {9-Spades} {9-Clubs} . Tran's kings held up, and he took care of two players, including last year's Main Event champion.
