The players take a 20-minute break. Triple-checked chip counts are coming soon, but the numbers on our "Chip Counts" page should be accurate.

Hand #167 - Raymond Rahme has the button in seat 1, Alex Kravchenko raises from the small blind to 2.1 million, Jerry Yang pushes from the big blind, and Kravchenko quickly calls all in for 19.825 million.

Yang shows {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and Kravchenko shows {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. It's a race situation, and Kravchenko needs to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}, and Yang's fans go crazy as he flops a set of eights. Kravchenko needs a runner-runner straight to stay alive here.

The turn card is the {4-Clubs}, and Kravchenko is drawing dead. The meaningless river card is the {3-Spades}, and Jerry Yang wins the pot with a set of eights.

Alex Kravchenko is eliminated in fourth place, earning $1,852,721. The next player eliminated will receive $3,048,025 for third place.
