Hand #1: Action folded around to Renji Mao in the small blind who raised and Ben Yu called for his remaining 70,000 from the big blind.

Ben Yu: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Renji Mao: {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Yu was able to double up after pairing his king on the river as the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Spades}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Hand #2: Ben Yu Open-jammed for 140,000 from the small blind and was called by the big blind player.

Ben Yu: {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}

Yu was able to pair his eight on the flop and that was good enough to win the hand as the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

As PokerNews was writing up both Yu's Double up hands he was seen walking to the payout desk and is eliminated from the tournament.
