Liang Yu Eliminated in 3rd Place (HK$413,000)
Liang Yu has been nursing his short stack for a while now, and seemed to be ducking and diving at the right time, moving all-in three times in quick succession without getting a caller.
However, that trend did not continue. Down to his last 106,000 Liang Yu moved all-in pre-flop from the small blind and with chips to spare Chung Yuan Yu made the call and the cards were turned over.

Chung Yuan Yu:
When you’re hot you’re hot and Chung Yuen Yu is certainly the in form player at the moment and Liang Yu found himself with kicker problems and would need to catch one of the three remaining eights to survive, though a chop was also possible.
However, the board ran out meaning we lose another. Chung Yuen Yu got up from the table to give Liang Yu a hug before the latter headed for the rail and we are now heads-up for the trophy and the title.
