After a string of misfortunate hands where he found himself all in with the best of it against Rahme and Lam in separate hands only to get outflopped each time (QQ vs Lam's Ah5h and QQ vs. Rahme's AQ...both players flopped Aces and Yang couldn't catch up), Yang gets himself straightened out at Alex Kravchenko's expense.
The blinds are 300k - 600k with a 75k ante. Kravchenko, fourth in chips with just under 20 million, gets them all in the middle with AKo. Yang looks him up with pocket 8's. It's all but over when the flop comes Q-8-9 leaving the Russian looking for running cards to make Broadway. The 4d hits the turn and that will do it for Kravchenko who takes home over $1.8 million for his efforts.
Here are the current chip counts.
Jerry Yang (USA) -- 67.3 million chips
Raymond Rahme (South Africa) -- 36.1 million chips
Tuan Lam (Canada) -- 24.075 million chips
