It was a tense moment. Jerry Yang's versus Lee Watkinson's . Lee Watkinson's fiancee was screaming and pleading for a seven. Yang's railbirds were hoping his hand would hold. The entire crowd in the Amazon Ballroom rose to its feet as the dealer burned and spread out the flop. Lee Watkinson's fiancee continued to plead for a 7 as the turn, then the river, were dealt. When Watkinson's hand did not improve, he slid off his hood and shook the hands of the rest of the players at the final table.
After Jerry Yang busted Lee Watkinson, he ran over to his family for another group hug. When he returned to the table, he shook Watkinson's hand and seemed almost apologetic. Watkinson leaned over and whispered something into Yang's ear and wished him luck.
Yang is up to over 55 million. He has already busted two players. Down to 7.
