Kenneth Douglas Eliminated in 3rd Place ($20,056)
Level 27
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Derrick Yamada opened to 250,000 and Michael Holmes called, but then Kenneth Douglas three-bet to 700,000. Yamada made the call while Holmes folded and the two went heads-up to a flop of 6♣5♠4♥.
Douglas then just ripped it all in for 3,000,000 and Yamada Snap-called to put him at risk.
"Did you flop a set??" He asked as he flipped over Q♣Q♠
"Yeah," Yamada replied as he tabled 6♠6♥.
Only a queen could save Douglas, but the turn improved Yamada to a full house and the river 6♦ improved him even more to quads! After it was confirmed that Yamada had him covered, Douglas was sent to the payout desk in third place.
