Yong Battles Back from the Brink of Elimination
Level 6
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
After losing a massive pot to Antonio Esfandiari last level, Macau businessman Richard Yong was left with just 17,000. It seemed like he was slated to be the next to go, but Yong has successfully returned from the brink of elimination.
In a recent hand up on the feature table, Yong got his stack (which he had worked up to 76,400) all in preflop holding the 
and was racing against the 
of Keith Lehr. Yong was on his feet as the board ran out a safe 
. Antonio Esfandiari congratulated Yong, who let a big smile creep across his face.
