With about 10,000 in the pot already, on a board reading {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, 2007 WSOP Main Event Champion Jerry Yang found himself all in for his last 11,000 in the small blind, and was called by Chris Gee in the big blind.

Yang tabled {q-Spades}{4-Spades} for flush and straight draws, while Gee already had a straight with {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The river was the {j-Hearts} and Yang was sent to the rail.

"It was nice playing with you, Jerry" said Gee as he raked in the pot. Yang wished the table luck and headed for the rail in Level 2 of the day.

"I just busted a Main Event champion!" exclaimed a smiling Gee. He has now jumped to the top of the counts with a healthy stack early on Day 1.
