Hand #56 - Jon Kalmar has the button in seat 8, Jerry Yang raises from middle position to 1.5 million, and Hevad 'Rain' Khan reraises from the small blind to 6 million (leaving himself just 3.44 million behind).

Raymond Rahme is taking his time from the big blind, counting his own chips to see how much 6 million would dent his stack. He eventually folds, and his fans in the crowd let out a soft, disappointed groan.

The action is back on Yang, who stands up to look at Khan, and then he asks how many chips Khan has behind. It's taking a while to get a clear count, and all of the other players wander away from the table, except for Raymond Rahme, who stays at the table to watch.

After several minutes of chip counting, Yang calmly says, "I call." Khan moves all in before the flop, in the dark.

The flop comes {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and Yang calls with {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Khan shows {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}, and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The turn card is the {3-Clubs}, and Khan picks up additional outs with a gutshot straight draw. He needs an ace, a queen, or a five to survive.

The river card is the {3-Spades}, and Jerry Yang runs to his family for a hug as he wins the pot with two pair, jacks and threes.

Hevad 'Rain' Khan is eliminated in sixth place, earning $956,243. The next player eliminated will receive $1,255,069 for fifth place.
