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.
