Yang Enjoys Relocation

Yang-attack!
Yang-attack!
With tables continuing to break fast, we have found Jerry Yang being moved to Johnny Chan's table.

Only a few hands since arriving, Yang opened with a raise to 900 before Steve Paul-Ambrose made it 2,550 to go.

The crowd started to gather as Yang cut down the chips to make the call and threw in the necessary amounts before checking the {2-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop.

Paul-Ambrose splashed the pot with a bet amounting 8,500 to effectively put Yang all in.

"I'm all in" announced Yang as a brigade of cameras and media came rushing to his table like a replica of the running of the bulls.

With Yang only all in for 5,300, Paul-Ambrose took back a few chips and rolled over his {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

"This is the hand I won the World Series with" announced Yang as he stood up and rolled the {8-Clubs}, followed by the {8-Diamonds}.

As Yang leaned over the table, he would see the {K-Hearts} peel on the turn to give Paul-Ambrose an additional two outs, but when the river landed the {5-Spades} Yang screamed out "YES!!!" to double to 17,000 and change.
