Jerry Yang is the new WSOP World Champion!
Yang raised to 3.3m from the button and Lam pushed all-in for around 20m.
Yang called in less than ten seconds and turned over 88.
Lam revealed the AdQd
Could this finally be it?
Flop… 5,Q,9 - a Queen! Lam had done it again!
The turn… 7 - straight draw for Yang - he needs an 8 or a 6
The flop… its a 6!!!!!!!
Yang disappears into a crowd of screaming, cheering friends and family as Lam is consoled by his supporters.
Yang is in tears as he hugs his wife. Despite being considered the rank outsider and worst player coming into the final table, Jerry Yang has played his big stack supremely and deserves the moeny and the gold bracelet - well done Jerry!
