The Champ Doubles Up!

Jerry Yang
Jerry Yang
Jerry Yang opened with a raise preflop to 600, before an opponent made it 2,200 to go. Yang flat called.

They saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Yang's opponent bet out 2,900 before Yang moved all in for 4,375. His opponent made the call.

Yang: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and river the {Q-Spades} to give Yang the pot as he goes around the rail shaking everyone's hands. He's now back up to about 15,000.
