Last 11 Hands

Heads up play has lasted 11 hands, which has passed the number of heads up hands from the previous three years. Although Tuan Lam won the first hand, Yang ran off four straight. He won 8 out of 11 and increased his lead by a small margin. Lam has been playing tight for most of the final table and he showed no indication that he was ready to get involved in any big pots with Yang during the initial 11 hands of heads up.

Hand #179 - Jerry Yang

Hand #179 - Jerry Yang has the button, he limps for 600,000, and Tuan Lam checks. The flop comes {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and both players check. The turn card is the {5-Clubs}, and they check again. The river card is the {7-Diamonds}, and they check again.

Yang shows 3-x for a pair of threes, and Lam mucks. Jerry Yang wins the pot.
