Yang Drags Five-Way Pot
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
James Obst raised to 16,000 in middle position. Daniel Negreanu called in the hijack, Stephen Chidwick did so in the cutoff, and Chongxian Yang followed suit on the button.
Benjamin Juhasz tossed in defending chips in the big blind, after which the 9♠K♥7♥ flop was fanned. It checked to Obst, who continued with a pot-sized bet of 92,000. Yang was the only caller.
The 8♣ turn slowed Obst down. He checked it over to Yang, who bet 276,000 after spending two time banks. Obst did not want to continue the hand, and he folded his cards to surrender the pot.
