Yang Up Big Early
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Jerry Yang opened to 800 from middle position and was called by a player to his left as well as the button to generate three-way action heading to the flop.
Yang continued for 900 on a flop of 10♦8♠5♣, getting a fold from the button but a call from his other opponent.
The former Main Event champion did not slow down following the 2♠ turn, instead making it 3,800 to go. That bet was enough to convince his opponent to release their holding, sending another pot towards Yang who has managed to amass a big stack in the first few levels of the day.
