Utg+2 Phil Ivey opened to 20,000 and was met with a three bet to 90,000 from big blind Yang Chongxian. Ivey made the call and headed to flop 3♦ 4♦ 9♣ . Yang fired a 65,000 cbet, called by his opponent. On turn 7♥ , Yang moved all-in for Ivey’s 320,000 behind, leaving the latter to use up three time banks before calling off. Yang shows A♦ K♦ and is up against Ivey’s 5♥ 5♠ . Gunning for several outs, the river 7♥ spared none, crippling Yang down to 4.5 BB.

Short stacked Yang Chongxian got his remaining 140,000 in with A♠ Q♣ and was up against Calvin Lee’s J♥ J♦ . Flipping for his tournament life, the board 9♠ 3♣ Q♠ J♠ K♣ left Yang eliminated from the table after Lee spiked a set to claim the win.
