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.
