Yang Shoves, Collects

Two players, including Jerry Yang playing from under the gun, saw a flop come {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and Yang led for 16,000. His opponent sitting in middle position thought a moment, then called. The turn was the {2-Hearts}, and this time Yang bet 32,000. Again his opponent paused, then called the bet.

The river brought the {3-Clubs} and an all-in shove from Yang. His opponent took a long time before acting, waiting almost three minutes before finally folding his hand, at which point Yang let out a short yell and fist pump, suggesting the fold was most certainly a desired response.

Yang moves up over 200,000 with that one.
