Jerry Yang just added #6 to his list of bustouts today when he made a very tough call.
Jerry opened from the button to 2.6m and Raymond Rahne reraised to 8.6m and Jerry called. Raymond checked the A
J
8
flop to Jerry who bet 10m. Raymond then came over the top all-in for an additional 17.35m.
Jerry took his usual time to think through the hand, pacing around the stage. Then Raymond made his second mistake when he started talking. That seemed to be the final nudge over the edge for Jerry as he made the call with A
5
(the first mistake was check-raising all in once Jerry basically pot-committed himself). Raymond was drawing to two outs or runner-runner with K
K
. The turn 3
and river 2
sent him to the rail in 3rd place.
He earned $3,048,025. 2nd place will pay $4,840,981 while 1st is $8,250,000.
Tuan Lam and Jerry Yang are now on a 20 minute break before heads-up play begins. Lam has 25m and Jerry sits atop a 100m stack.
