Chao Stacks Yang to Take Lead
When you're hot, you're hot and Zhang Chao is running at a temperature close to the surface of the sun at present, a fact that Yi Fan Yang discovered to his cost.
Things had not been going Yang's way, and the Chinese player was down to his last 16,450 (a little over 30 big blinds) and decided he wanted to get something going and moved all-in pre-flop from mid position.
Unfortunately for Yang, neighbor Chao woke up with a hand and her swift call convinced the rest of the table to get out of the way.
Zhang Chao: 
Yi Fan Yang: 
Yang's ace-high was trailing to Chao's fishhooks and stayed behind the whole way when the board ran out 
. Yang hit the rail and headed off to try his luck in the Day 1c Turbo flight, which begins in around five minutes, while Chao stacked up to 90,000 to take the chip lead.
