Hand #74 - Jerry Yang

Hand #74 - Tuan Lam has the button in seat 6, Jerry Yang limps from under-the-gun for 400,000, and Alex Kravchenko checks his option from the big blind. The flop comes {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and both players check. The turn card is the {3-Clubs}, and they check again. The river card is the {8-Spades}, Kravchenko checks, Yang bets 500,000, and Kravchenko folds. Jerry Yang takes the pot.

Last 10 Hands: 61-70

Action has slowed down since Jon Kalmar busted out in 5th place. At four different times, the big blind got a walk... or a "ground skinner" as former WSOP tournament director Johnny Grooms would say. Perhaps the final table players are card dead or down-shifting into passive mode.

Jerry Yang has won 23 out of the first 70 hands. He is still the chipleader.

Level: 33

Blinds: 200,000/400,000

Ante: 50,000
