Yu Wins the Race to Take the Chip Lead
Nivel 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Lei Yu raised to 500,000 on the button before Blaz Zerjav in the big blind three-bet all in for Yu's stack of 4,485,000, which Yu snap called.
Lei Yu: 10♥10♣ 
Blaz Zerjav: A♠Q♦
It was a massive flip for Yu's tournament life and he was ahead with his pocket tens. However, after the Q♥8♠4♥ flop, Zerjav took the lead and was on the brink of winning his first WSOP bracelet.
Then the board ran out J♠ 9♠ to improve Yu to a queen-high straight to take the pot and the chip lead.
