Rinshan kaihou cannot be combined with [[haitei]], a yaku for calling tsumo on the final tile from the live wall. When winning on the replacement tile after a kan, tsumo is not called on any tile from the live wall, but on a tile from the dead wall. However, the last tile draw indicated by the '''haiteihai''' is defined as the last tile to be drawn from the live wall, not the dead wall. | Rinshan kaihou cannot be combined with [[haitei]], a yaku for calling tsumo on the final tile from the live wall.
