Lei Yu Eliminated in 5th Place ($60,000)
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Stephen Song opened to 60,000 first to act and Lei Yu shoved for his last 130,000 in the cutoff. It was then folded back to Song, who quickly called to put Yu at risk.
Lei Yu: Q♦10♥
Stephen Song: 9♦9♣
Yu was in decent shape with his two overcards, but the 9♥2♦K♥ flop upgraded Song to a set of nines for a huge lead.
The 2♠ turn left Yu drawing dead and a meaningless J♣ improved Yu to a second-best straight to make his elimination in fifth place official.
