Crazy Eights No Good For Yang

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

A player in early position raised to 400 and a player in middle position re-raised all in for 2075. Former Main Event Champion Jerry Yang was on the button and called while the initial raiser folded.

Yang: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{2-Spades} and the queens held allowing the other player to double up.

After the hand Yang was down to around 8,200.
