Mike Liang Takes From Jerry Yang

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

With about 4,500 in the pot on a board reading {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Mike Liang bet 2,300 from under the gun, and Jerry Yang called from the cutoff. The player on the button raised to 7,000, and Liang quickly called. Yang thought for about a minute before calling, as well.

The river was the {8-Clubs}. All three players checked, and Liang tabled {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} for two pair. Both Yang and the button mucked, sending the pot to Liang.

Liang has a healthy stack now, while Yang has lost more than half of the starting stack since the beginning of his day.
