The casualties are coming thick and fast now and less than a minute after Chan Wai Leong hit the rail there was another all-in confrontation with John Juanda and Richard Yong getting all the chips in pre-flop.
Juanda was the man to pull the trigger first, moving all-in from the button for 1.7 million and Yong made an extremely quick call and the cards were turned over.

Richard Yong:
Juanda was racing for his tournament life but fell behind as soon as the dealer spread the flop.
The turn was close to a five, but not close enough and the river completed the hand, and Juanda’s tournament and the Indonesian player hit the rail in fourth place for a $595,037 payday.
That late card rush shot Yong into the chip lead and he stacked up to 5.4 million.
