Hevad Rain Khan Shoves in the Dark...

...against Jerry Yang.  So you know how the story ends.  With the blinds at 150k-300k Jerry Yang raised to 1.5m, Hevad "Rain" Khan reraised to 6m, leaving himself 3m and change behind. Rhame folded after thinking for a few minutes in the big blind, and Yang called.

Khan moved all in "in the dark" (before the flop fell) with the AsQs.  On the Kc4c2d flop, Yang took some time to think through his options before calling with JhJs.  It was the correct call and the board bricked out for Khan.

He was sent home in 6th place.  Results and payouts:

6th - Rain Khan - $956,243
7th - Lee Childs - $705,229
8th - Lee Watkinson - $585, 699
9th - Philip Hilm - $525,934
