Oborne Cripples Yang Early

[user628]

WSOP Champ Jerry Yang has lost the vast majority of his stack to T6 Poker's Damien Oborne in a battle of pure aggression.

Pre-flop, Yang made it 200 from the button holding J-9 offsuit, and Oborne re-raised to 650 from the big blind with A-J. Yang made the call, and the flop came king-high, all spades. Oborne made it 800 to go, and Yang raised to 3,000; Oborne called. The turn was a blank, and Oborne fired 6,000 at the pot. Yang called again. The last card off the deck was an ace. Oborne checked, Yang bet 8,000 and after a long think, Oborne called and his pair of aces was good enough to take down the pot.

After the hand, Yang was left with less than 2000 in chips while Oborne climbed to 37,000.
