After a 16 hour odyssey, Jerry Yang has emerged as the last man standing in the 2007 WSOP. On the final hand Jerry Yang raises to $2,300,000 and Tuan Lam moves all in. Yang calls quickly and tables 88, while Lam shows AQ. Both players cheer with their respective sections, celebrating their coin flip. Lam grabs the Canadian flag and starts waiving it, while Yang's supporters chant, "USA, USA, USA!" Their chants don't change the flop, as it comes Q95. Lam's supporters explode in triumph, but as every player knows there are still two more cards to come. Yang picks up some outs when the turn brings the 7, and he can with any eight or six. The river brings the 6, giving Yang the straight and the WSOP title! He is embraced by his supporters as the rest of the crowd again chants "USA, USA, USA!" He takes down $8250,000 for his efforts. Tuan Lam wins the second place money of $4,840,981, and the envy of Canadians as well as poker players, across the globe
