So Long to the Champ

2007 WSOP Main Event winner Jerry Yang has been eliminated by Conrad Monica. The two men, sitting in the blinds, took a limped flop of {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {8-Clubs}. Yang had first action and bet 4,000. Monica called.

When the turn came a seeming blank, the {3-Spades}, Yang moved all in for about 27,000. It turned out that the turn wasn't such a blank after all. Monica clled with {5-Hearts} {2-Spades}, having made a six-high straight. That left Yang's {j-Clubs} {5-Clubs} looking for a seven to chop or a club to win the whole pot. The river {5-Spades} wasn't enough. He has been sent to the rail.
