Yao Can't Always Get What You Want, Vogelsang Doubles
Christoph Vogelsang just doubled up in a huge pot with the Day 1a chipleader Zhengye Yao when both players had an overpair.
Shunu Zang opened the action with a preflop raise of 4,000 from under the gun. Vogelsang three bet to 11,000 and the action fell to Yao into the small blind.
"Raise," said Yao, before making it 20,500.
Zang folded and Vogelsang took a few moments before calling. The flop came 
and Yao bet 20,500, the same size as his preflop four-bet. Vogelsang took his time again, before eventually calling. The turn was the 
and Yao went into the tank. He settled on a bet of 30,000, which was a little less than half of Vogelsang's remaining stack.
Vogelsang leaned forward and looked directly down at his chips, possibly trying to count his remaining stack. He then stacked his chips and put them over the line, going all in for 70,200. Now the pressure was on Yao, it was only 40,200 more to call, but Yao seemed torn. Eventually the clock was called and Yao tossed in a call. He turned over 
, but would lose the pot to the 
of Vogelsang.
