Jerry Yang Eliminated

A short stacked Jerry Yang was all in before the flop with {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} against the {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} of his opponent.

The flop came {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts} giving Yang the best hand with a pair of sevens and an inside straight draw.

However, the {K-Diamonds} fell on the turn putting Yang at risk.

The {4-Spades} on the river sealed his fate, eliminating the '07 champ from the tournament.
