Lagodich Busts Yang; Taylor Waves Goodbye
With hand-for-hand play having just started, Haiyang Yang jammed from the small blind for about 120,000 and Frank Lagodich snap-called from the big blind.
Haiyang Yang : A♣6♣
Frank Lagodich: A♥9♦
Yang was dominated by Lagodich with the higher kicker, and before the flop was even dealt, Yang pleaded with the dealer, "Chop, chop, chop!"
Esther Taylor, who had been involved in some jovial back-and-forth with Yang for quite some time, immediately fired back with a request of her own.
"No chop, no chop, no chop!"
The flop came down 8♥10♠2♥, providing little hope of a chop. The K♠ turn and Q♠ river changed nothing, and Yang headed to the exit just before the money.
As Yang made the long walk away from the table, Taylor waved goodbye and joked, "Bye, bye."
