With about 7,600 already in the middle and the board reading {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Jerry Yang was in the cutoff and heads-up against the player in the hijack, who bet 4,000. After brief consideration, Yang called, leaving himself with 9,375 behind.

The river brought the {Q-Clubs}, and Yang's opponent went into the tank for about 30 seconds before betting all-in effective. Yang called instantly and tabled {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the flopped nut flush. His opponent mucked.
