If he doesn't suck out with J8, he never gets that far.

every winner in the past ten years has had multiple suckouts that kept them in the tourney. Haven't you figured this out yet.

Luck is a must to win this thing. Do you understand poker?

He does have a big calling leaning, but he took over the table, and the only time people stood up to him until the very end, they did it by playing his type of game, i.e. lowering their starting hand standards, raising him more even though they should know he won't fold, generally pushing marginal situations instead of being patient, trapping, and being aggressive when they knew he wasn't going to be in the hand. I think the more experienced players at the table made much greater strategic mistakes than Yang.

Actually I think the big hand was earlier when Lee Childs folded QQ. In hindsight, I would say it's 90%+ that Yang was bluffing there (or overplaying a worse hand).

Am I the only one who liked that fold (at the time)? They said Yang had been playing tight, and his range seemed like JJ+, AcKc to me.

Of course, looking back, he probably had like A7.

The QQ fold wasn't that bad at the time.

yeah Phil Gordon really leveled me when he said Yang was a very tight player from the getgo

also said Tuam was loose aggro, he must have got the two mixed up

At the time, I thought Childs had a slightly smaller pair, and read Yang as strong. I am not sure about Yang, but what I think was the gigantic mistake in that hand, if I recall correctly, is that Child reraised Yang preflop, and this created a huge pot, with giant odds, which really committed both players to the hand. It would have been a much better play against a weak postflop player just to call, and then play after the flop, and disguise the strength of your hand. Yes, you will get flop where you will have to throw it away, but you will be very unlikely to lose more than half your chips.

Rubbish. It was Yang who reraised PF, Childs just called.
