... and Yang Gets Some Back

"You raise me, baby, I raise you back," said Scotty Nguyen to Jerry Yang after raising Yang's big blind to 700.

Very quietly, Yang asked, "How much is it?"

"I got more than you, baby," kidded Scotty.

Yang called and the flop came {3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Both players checked. Yang checked the {9-Clubs} turn, Nguyen bet 1,000 and Yang again called.

The river was the {8-Spades}, Yang checked, and Nguyen checked behind, showing A-K. Yang opened pocket fives, a busted straight draw but still a winner.
