Rob Yong Eliminated in 9th Place ($160,000)
Level 18
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Filip Aleksic raised to 280,000 under the gun before Rob Yong potted to 920,000 in the small blind. "I'm polarized, my friend," he told Aleksic, who ended up moving all in. Yong called for 1,485,000.
Rob Yong: A♣K♥K♣7♥ 
Filip Aleksic: Q♠Q♥J♠10♥
The J♣10♣5♥ flop had something for both players, as Aleksic hit top two pair while Yong had flush and straight draws. The 6♣ turn gave Yong the nut flush, and he was a big favorite to double up until the 10♦ river improved Aleksic to a full house.
Yong sat stunned by his seat for a few moments before leaving the table. "Good luck, guys. Thanks for playing the tournament," he eventually told the table before heading to the exit in ninth place.
