Chung Yuan Yu raised to 11,500 from under the gun and was called by Yi Fan Yang in the cutoff. Mark Hammond was sitting on the button and shoved. The blinds folded so action was back on Yu who asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Hammond had 64,500 in total. Yu tanked for a bit, looked at his cards again and then reluctantly folded. Yang wasn't sure what to do either and confirmed the amount again. He cut out calling chips and then looked at the remainder of his own stack. Yang grabbed the calling chips and played with them. He then put them all over the line to call.
Mark Hammond:
Yi Fan Yang:
The board ran out to give Yang the higher pair on the flop to eliminate Hammond from the tournament.
