As if Yang had that choice.
h13 was such a choice at a key moment in the game, Yang tried to attack the white group, rather than defend his on the left. Here's a bot suggestion from Yike, 4 being sente seems to depend on a semeai with the corner ko, so directly at 8 would be a simpler choice:

Exactly what I meant by baiting; if you think he is overplaying it's got to be so tempting to want to punish him. Requires great clarity of mind and continuous concentration to hold back and not slip up, and in byo-yomi even harder.

In the commentary area in your screenshot somebody quoted some statistics (that cannot be confirmed easily):

Among the recent 200 games played by Tang Weixing, if at the 100th move, he got a 70% winning rate given by a bot, he only ended up winning 28% of those games; if the bot predicted even games, he ended up winning 41% of those games; if the bot gave his a chance of only 30%, he ended up winning 82% of those games!
