Lee Wang Yong Eliminated in 3rd Place (?1,602,000; $31,393)
Lee Wang Yong is the player that eliminated in third place, sending the APPT National to heads-up, after a massive pot created by him and Benigno Jr Ledina.
Linh Tran opened to 250,000 from the button, Ledina called, and Lee Wang Yong announced all in from the big blind. Tran folded, and Ledina tanked for almost four minutes before announcing call, to make the rail erupt. Yong and Ledina were the only two players with a rail around the table, and what a loud rail it was!
The two players opened their cards, and it was then that everybody in the rail started asking for cards.
Lee Wang Yong: 
Benigno Jr Ledina: 
"King, queen, jack", said someone from Yong's rail, while Ledina's rail was asking for a four.
The flop came 
, and Ledina was now a favorite. The Philippine's native player couldn't even watch the unfolding of the hand, so he turned his back to the table, and had his rail informing him about the cards that were coming.
The 
on the turn didn't change anything, and now "King Dragon", as was the name that his friends were calling Yong, needed an ace or a ten to stay alive.
The 
on the river brought celebrations to Ledina's rail who won a massive all in for more than 60 big blinds to send the event in heads-up.
