Yan Jingyao

Hand 9: Teeraphat Rangkatekarn opened A 6 and saw no action from the table.

Hand 10: Dillon Najor opened to 160,000 from early position with A Q and Abraham Ceesvin mucked his A J . James Mendoza looked down at K J on the button and made the call.

The 3 6 Q was fanned and both checked swiftly to see the 4 turn. Najor bet out 180,000, which was enough to get a fold.

Hand 11: Ceesvin opened A 8 from middle position and Teeraphat Rangkatekarn called with Q T from the small blind. The 5 6 2 flop was check-folded by Rangkatekarn after Ceesvin moved out 220,000.

Hand 12: Rangkatekarn then opened the button with T 8 and action went to Yan Jingyao in the small blind who moved all-in for 630,000. Wen Yee Yan was in the big blind and had nearly the same stack as Jingyao and re-jammed for 690,000. Rangkatekarn got out of the way, leaving the players to flip their hands, with Jingyao at risk.

Yan Jingyao: K K

Wen Yee Yan: 8 8

Jingyao was miles ahead, and things stayed that way on the 6 3 9 Q J runout, securing him the double-up.
