Chongxian Yang Eliminated in 3rd Place ($598,285)
Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
Chongxian Yang raised to 1,050,000 from the button, and Lou Garza three-bet to 2,100,000 from the small blind. Ben Lamb folded his big blind, and Yang committed his last 625,000 into the middle.
Chongxian Yang: A♥Q♣7♥4♠ 
Lou Garza: A♦K♦6♠2♠
If Garza could win this, the tournament would be heads-up. The dealer fanned out a flop of A♠K♠10♠, which was virtually as good as it gets for Garza as he hit top two pair and a flush. The J♦ turn left Yang drawing dead, as an inconsequential K♣ hit the river to impove Garza to a boat.
Yang was sent to the rail in third place, and just two remained.
