Edward Liu
Edward Liu

On a heads-up flop of J68, 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 J8 for two pair, but was in second place to Yamada's flopped set with 66.

Liu could still hit a jack or ann eight for a bigger full house, but the runout of 93 did not do it and he was sent to the rail in fourth place.

Michael Holmes
Michael Holmes

In a family pot with a board of 7510, Michael Holmes led for 2750,000, Kenneth Douglas folded, and then Derrick Yamada raised to 1,025,000.

After some thought, Holmes then moved all in for 2,600,00, which Yamada quickly called to put him at risk.

"You got a set again?"Holmes asked him as he tabled 107 for top two-pair, and was relieved to see Yamada held 57 for the bottom two-pair.

The turn 2 made it a sweat as Yamada could now hit a spade or a five to win, bit the river was the A and Holmes was awarded the pot for a huge double.
