IMO Yang clearly outplayed FT

...when Yang was showing down he more often than not seemed to have a reasonable hand (barring the odd J8.) He did make a pretty sick call with A-9 but that was a chance to take out a dangerous pro who had position on him and it doesn't cripple him if he's wrong there

Great post by OP.

As far as the J8 push it was actually quite a smart play as Childs had already shown he could lay down QQ. I think it was a great resteal and even if he lost would continue to set the tone that he was table boss. I also agree with analysis on the A9 call vs Watkinson.

It appeared to a few of us in the media that Yang had been coached in the Navarro/Hellmuth style of table posture (leaning forward, covering mouth, etc). Maybe someone else has given this some verbage on here already, but would like to hear any one else's thoughts.
