Hand #9 - Jerry Yang Takes an 11.63 Million Pot
Hand #9 - Hevad 'Rain' Khan has the button in seat 9, Lee Childs raises under the gun to 720,000, Jerry Yang reraises from early position to 2.5 million, and Childs calls. There is already 5.63 million in the pot.
The flop comes {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Childs bets 3 million, and Yang immediately moves all in. Childs stands up and turns around with his back to the table while he thinks. He clearly wasn't expecting Yang to push.
Jerry Yang has about 770,000 more in chips than Childs, so Childs would be calling with his tournament life at stake. Childs sits back down to the table as he thinks for about three minutes.
Childs eventually folds, showing pocket queens. Jerry Yang takes the pot worth 11.63 million.

Would you fold the queens? This is hand #9. Childs doesn't know how Yang is playing. If Childs calls and Yang doesn't have aces, kings or a set, Yang would probably be crippled. There would be a different champion.
