Another level, another victim for Jerry Yang.
Things slowed down a bit at the beginning of the second level of the day (150k-300k, 40k ante), but the level ended with a bang. Yang raises in early position to 1.5 million. Hevad "Rain" Khan of PokerStars fame (not the best endorsement Stars could have hoped for...the guy is an idiot at the table...Ali Nejad made the comment that he thought Rain was playing with a "49 card deck" after seeing one of the stupidest celebratory dances ever seen at a poker table) re-raised to 6 million, conspicuously leaving only 3.4 million behind. Jerry tanked and kept saying "I don't think I can lay this down. He finally acted, mistakenly calling the bet when he thought he had Khan all in. After realizing the mistake, Jerry measured out 4.5 million chips to complete Khan's bet. Before the flop is dealt, Khan announces that he's all in blind and pushes out his remaining 3.4 million. After a flop of K-2-4 with two clubs comes out, Jerry calls and flips over JJ. Khan shows AsQs and needs help. The 3 on the turn offers a bit giving Khan a wheel draw, but the board pairs on the river (3 or 4) and Jerry Yang has busted out his fourth opponent while collecting the 19.8 million chip pot and has pushed his stack to 73 million. The other four players only comine to 53 million. Can you say Jamie Gold Part Deux??? Jamie Gold...Jerry Yang...hmm. Let the conspiracy theories begin!!!
BTW, you have to see the footage of Hellmuth wrecking the race car. Classic!
More after the next break!
