Edward Liu Eliminated in 4th Place ($13,304)
Level 25
: Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
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.

Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Short-stacked Andrew Whitmer moved all in preflop and was called by none other than Derrick Yamada to put him at risk.
