Jerry Yang just added #6 to his list of bustouts today when he made a very tough call. 

Jerry opened from the button to 2.6m and Raymond Rahne reraised to 8.6m and Jerry called.  Raymond checked the AJ8 flop to Jerry who bet 10m.  Raymond then came over the top all-in for an additional 17.35m.

Jerry took his usual time to think through the hand, pacing around the stage.  Then Raymond made his second mistake when he started talking.  That seemed to be the final nudge over the edge for Jerry as he made the call with A5 (the first mistake was check-raising all in once Jerry basically pot-committed himself).  Raymond was drawing to two outs or runner-runner with KK.  The turn 3 and river 2 sent him to the rail in 3rd place.

He earned $3,048,025.  2nd place will pay $4,840,981 while 1st is $8,250,000.

Tuan Lam and Jerry Yang are now on a 20 minute break before heads-up play begins.  Lam has 25m and Jerry sits atop a 100m stack.

Tuan Lam was just all in preflop with A5 versus Raymond Rahme's QQ.  Silly Rahme!  Lam doubled up when he spiked an A on the flop.  And another one on the river, just to rub it in.  He also picked up an extra 2.5m from Yang plus the 500k from Drago...er, Alex' big blind.  He now has 26m and Rahme drops to 17.1m.  Brutal.

Rahme was heard muttering after the hand, "If it wasn't for luck, I'd win 'em all..."¹

Rahme has been all in on 2 of the last 3 hands since the suckout.  Can we say tilt, anyone?

Before I could finish this post, Rahme moved all in for a 3rd time in 4 hands.

This is now tilt of the worst kind--full blown monkey tilt!  Although he did win all three times. Sometimes FBMT isn't a bad thing.  Until you get called.  With A5.  And lose to a 3-outer.  Twice.
