Set Over Set No Good for Yang

Jerry Yang
Jerry Yang
Jerry Yang would have won this hand a couple of years ago.

Yang raised to 600 from early position and got reraised to 6,600. Action folded back around to Yang who reraised again, making it 20,600 to play. His opponent moved all in and Yang called.

Yang: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

Both players connected as the flop came {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{3-Hearts}, but things didn't improve for Yang after that, as the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.

Yang shipped most of his stack across the felt as he muttered, "There's been so much bad luck for me this year." He still has 14,000 left to play with.
