Eights Are Enough for Yang Too

Jerry Yang called an under-the-gun bet of 900 from late position and went heads up to a flop of {8-Spades}

.

Both players checked and the turn brought the {J-Clubs}

along with a 2,700 bet from under-the-gun. Yang raised an additional 3,600 and got the call. Action checked to Yang when the {4-Diamonds}

hit the river and he bet 4,000. He got called again before turning over {A-Hearts}

for trips. His opponent mucked, and Yang now has 43,000 chips.
