Wongyu Kang looked down at A ♣️ K ♣️ and gave it a bump to 16,000. Two spots over, Kai Yang pumped it up more to make it 47,000 to with J ♦️ J ♣️ on hand. 

Action back on Kang, he four-bet but before the count Yang snap-shoved and Kang snap-called for his tournament life. 

Upon revealing, it was fifty-fifty for Kang however the board refused to grant it running a low 4 ♠️ 7 ♠️ 2 ♥️ 7 ♦️ 4 ♣️ to end his run and Yang to catapult to 950,000. Yang is now one of the biggest stacks in the field.
