Yang Magic

Jerry Yang
Jerry Yang

Did we mention how Jerry Yang is running hot today? White hot in fact. He's just eliminated another player but he needed some help from the river to do so.

On a flop of {5-Spades}{Q-Spades}{6-Hearts} an early position player fired 2,000 into the middle in a slight overbet of the pot. Yang made the call and the {3-Hearts} hit the turn. As soon as the card was flipped the EP player moved all in for his last 3,300.

"Is he all in?" queried Yang. "Ok, I call!"

Yang: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

Yang needed help and it arrived when the {J-Hearts} smacked down on the river to give Yang two pair and the pot. He's now up to 27,000 chips.

Meanwhile another World Champ in Joe Cada is no longer in his seat - assumed busto!
