Yu Wins the Race to Take the Chip Lead
Level 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.
