[pariah8]

Actually from the little bit I've read he knocked out someone at the final table his J8 vs KJ all in preflop, are you telling me he always had the best of it, sounds like a pretty luckbox play when his 8 spiked on the turn.

He also won a lot of coinflips. Not to say that getting your money in with a coinflip is terrible, but just because your ak beats JJ and than your 88 beats AK (both hands that he won) doesn't mean you dominated anyone, it just means the deck hit you well. It's always said that to win a tournament you are going to have to win the coinflips.

Not saying the criticism of Yang is deserved or not and of course Gordon is going to be biased (probably jealous he isn't there instead), but to say Yang just pwned and was never lucky on the final table is also absurd, due to the amount of people in the ME he is lucky just to be there.
