Yi Fang is "A Very Lucky Man"

Dec 18, 2014

Yi Fang raises to 25,000 from middle position and Josh Ladines calls from the big blind.

“Oh good, I got a customer,” Fang says, beaming with excitement.

The flop falls KspadeheartKheart6club, Ladines checks, Fang bets 35,000, trying to entice his opponent by chirping, ” chippie, chippie, chippie.” Ladines calls.

The turn brings the 5club. Once again, Ladines checks. “Chippie, chippie chippie,” Fang chirps as he bets 35,000. Ladines calls again.

The river brings the 8club and Ladines checks a third time. Fang counts out a bet of 70,000, pushes it forward, then tells Ladines, “I don’t need a customer now.”

Ladines thinks for a minute or two before calling.

“Full house,” Fang announces as he turns over 5spade5heart. He stands from his seat and begins to dance and cheer, “Ship it, ship it, ship it!”

He then tells his tablemate, “I tell everyone I’m a lucky man. Why don’t they believe me?”

Yi Fang – 1,355,000 (136 bb)
Josh Ladines – 195,000 (20 bb)
