A special case involves [[chankan]]. If the kan call is a shouminkan (added kan), and the added tile is a winning tile for another player, then that player may call ron and win with chankan. This happens before the rinshan draw (i.e. before step 3).

This is an "abortive draw" regarding kan calls.  From the dead wall, only four tiles can be used for the extra draw, or '''rinshanpai'''.  The remaining tiles from the dead wall are used as dora indicators, or they are tile replacements from the regular wall.  Neither of these two tile type can be used in play.  As a result, the limit of kan calls for a hand session is set to four.  After the fourth kan call, the [[hanchan|kyoku]] (hand session) ends after the [[rinshan]] draw and subsequent discard.

However, an exception is made for players with [[suukantsu]] tenpai.  After the fourth kan call, the game continues, giving the player a chance to score the yakuman. Under many rulesets, the other players are not allowed to call a fifth kan to invoke the abortive draw. Some [[rule variations]] may allow a fifth kan to immediately end the game in a draw, though.<ref>https://youtu.be/eds4GAKPlOc?t=5m7s</ref> If this rule variation is used, the fifth-kan draw happens before [[chankan]] and [[rinshan]] can happen.
