am i the only one that can admit.. that in this hand .. if i had held QQ and had run into Yang playing the hand the way he did against childs the thought would go through my mind. "the way this guy has been raising like nuts i bet i have him beat...

The QQ v. JJ hand was very early, only the 9th hand. So Yang probably didn't have the huge raising reputation yet.

Here's the first 9 hands:
1. Yang raises UTG to 1.4M. 1 call. Yang raises flop to 2.5M. Yang wins.

2. Kravchenko bets 750K from Button. Yang re-raises to 2M in the BB. Kravchenko folds.

3. Lee Childs raises to 720k from the button and everyone else folds

4. Hilm raises UTG to 720k and everyone folds.

5. Lam raises to 800k from SB and everyone folds.

6. (First hand shown on ESPN): Kahn raises to 600k UTG. Yang and Kalmar call. Everyone checks the flop. Yang bets 1000k on the turn and everyone folds.

7. Watkinson raises to 600K. Hilm raises to 2M from the button. Watkinson folds.

8. Yang raises to 800k. Rahme calls from BB. Rahme checks the flop. Yang bets 1M. Rahme folds.

9. The QQ vs. JJ hand.

I'm not sure if 4 raises in 8 hands is enough for Childs to think that Yang had been completely bluffing. (I don't know what Yang's reputation was before the FT.)
