Lyall Cracks Queens for the Triple; Tan Eliminated
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Dean Lyall was at risk for 22,500 in middle position, while Xiaohui Tan had her stack of about 28,000 across the line on the button and Lars-Magne Johansen was looking for the double knockout.
Dean Lyall: K♥J♠ 
Xiaohui Tan: 10♠10♥
Lars-Magne Johansen: Q♦Q♣
The J♣6♥2♣ flop gave Lyall a pair of jacks but he was going to need to improve as Johansen was still in the lead with a pair of queens. The 8♣ fell on the turn changing nothing but the J♦ river improved Lyall to trip jacks for the main pot, and Johansen took the side with his pair of queens as Tan exited the table.
