Donovan check-raised to 390,000, and Yong called.

The J♦ hit on the turn, and Donovan fired out a bet of 875,000.

It was another action board, Yong with the nut straight and Donovan with a wrap and flush draw.

The 3♣ river was a brick, and the tournament is now at heads-up, Yong holding a healthy lead over Daniel Smith.

The players have taken a 15-minute break before heads-up play commences.

Chris Yong – 6,890,000
Daniel Smith – 2,605,000
