On a heads-up flop of J♠6♠8♣, Derrick Yamada checked to Edward Liu who bet 200,000, but then Yamada check-raised to 700,000.

After some thought, Liu moved all in and Yamada snap-called to put him at risk.

"Wowww, cooler," Liu sighed as he tabled J♣8♥ for two pair, but was in second place to Yamada's flopped set with 6♦6♥.

Liu could still hit a jack or ann eight for a bigger full house, but the runout of 9♠3♠ did not do it and he was sent to the rail in fourth place.
