Wai Kin Yong has had a stellar day so far as he's up to 290,000 chips right now. We just saw a player raise to 4,000 after which Luis Rodrigues three-bet to 9,300 and the action was folded to Yong in the small blind. The young Malaysian put in a cold four-bet to 22,000 and Benjamin Juhasz quickly moved all in over the top from the big blind.
Both the initial raiser and Rodrigues folded and Yong did some math before making the call. Juhasz was all in for 83,500 total and the showdown went as following.
Juhasz:
Yong: 
The board ran out 
and Yong knocked another player out.
