Jeho Lee Eliminated in 9th Place for HKD 147,000 ($18,800)

Korea's Jeho Lee will not be winning a second title this tournament series, departing at the hands of Yang Wang to bring the Day 3 play to a conclusion and set up the official eight-handed final table.

With Liang Song finding that timely double it was Lee the man under pressure as the short stack, so when the action folded around to him on the button, Lee moved all-in for 275,000.

Small blind Yang Wang peeked down at his cards and called instantly, and from the look on Lee's face we deduced that this was not a good thing.

Lee's cards were live, which is all he could have asked for. Unfortunately, the runout came down a decisive and the official eight-handed final table is now set. Lee headed for the cashier to collect his HKD 147,000, while Wang stacked up to 3.34 million, putting him second in the overall counts.
