Yang Gets in Gear

Jerry Yang raised to 700 from under-the-gun and got called in three spots, including the button and the big blind.

Action checked to Yang on a flop of {9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and he bet 2,000. A player behind min-raised to 4,000 and the button and big blind both folded. Yang called and then bet 5,000 more when the turn brought the {3-Diamonds}. His opponent called.

The {3-Hearts} on the river brought another 17,000 bet from Yang and this time, his opponent tanked before folding. Before reaching for the pot, Yang said "I'll show you one," before turning over the {K-Spades}. He later claimed to have been holding pocket kings.

His stack now stands at 55,000.
