Yang Eliminated

Shamus

2007 WSOP Main Event champion Jerry Yang's run here in this year's Main Event has ended on Day 3.

In his last hand, Yang opened with a raise from middle position, then Armando Fernandez reraised from the button. It folded back to Yang who called, and the flop came {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} . Yang checked, Fernandez bet 25,000, Yang check-raised all in, and Fernandez called immediately.

Yang: {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Fernandez: {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}

Yang was ahead with a pair of tens for the moment, but the {K-Clubs} fell on the turn to give Fernandez a straight. Yang still had a ton of ways to reclaim the lead on the river, but the {9-Hearts} wasn't one of them, and he hits the rail with about an hour to go before dinner. Meanwhile, Fernandez joins the half-million chip club.
