We just caught a bit of this monster hand, so we'll tell you what we know.

When we picked up the action, there was a flop of {5-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {4-Spades} out on the table, and Yang had led out with a bet. He was heads up, and his opponent quickly put in a raise. Without missing a beat, Yang three-bet all in for more than 100,000 total, and his opponent made the call to put a huge pot up for grabs. It's hard to believe that neither player had anything:

Yang: {K-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

The {10-Diamonds} on the turn put Yang one card away from the double, and the {4-Hearts} river was clean and safe. With just a king kicker to go with the pair of fours on board, Yang has doubled up in a big way. We count him at 292,000 right now, good enough for the overall lead.

"Well, at least those chips didn't go to a player with experience," someone at the table joked as the 2007 WSOP Champion stacked up.
