The Jerry Yang Train Rolls On

After two limpers were in the pot preflop, Jerry Yang raised from the small blind making it 1,200 to go. One player made the call and they saw a {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. Yang led out for 2,700 before his opponent announced "raise", and tossed out a single 5,000 denomination chip. This was ruled a minimum raise and he was required to put another 400 into the middle.

It didn't matter as Yang stood, kissed the photo of his family and slid all of his chips into the middle. His opponent called and tabled {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} but found himself trailing the {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} of Yang.

The turn was the {J-Spades} and river the {K-Spades} and Yang takes it down to the cheers on the rail to move back to higher ground on 36,700 chips.
