Sebastien Moreau raised it up from the button to 600, with Jerry Yang making the call from the small blind. A middle-position limper also made the call.

They took a flop of {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and it was checked through.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and it was checked to Moreau, who led out for 1,400. Yang then announced a check-raise to 4,000. The MP player folded before Moreau moved all in for about 20,000.

Yang went into the tank for about five minutes as two camera crews and multiple media outlets swarmed around the table, as Yang's tournament life was hanging in the balance. However, he eventually laid down his hand, to be left with only 5,300 chips at the halfway mark of the first level.
