He outplayed the FT as much as Jamie Gold did. Take that as you will.

I disagree. I watched both FTs live and I thought that Yang played MUCH better than Gold did. I think that the OP's analysis about all of the pots that Yang won uncontested is interesting and it is what differentiated him from gold (who won a lot at showdown).

I also think that Yang was infinitely harder to read than Gold. I consider myself to be an excellent hand reader and I was able to put Gold on a very specific range last year (often because he audibly said what he had) and I was unable to do that with Yang.
