Jesse Yaginuma Triples, Lawrence Lazar Eliminates a Player

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Jesse Yaginuma, Lawrence Lazar, and one other player got all the chips in on a flop of {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Lazar had the largest of the three stacks and Yaginuma had the smallest.

Lazar: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Yaginuma: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Player 1: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The turn was the {A-Hearts}, giving Yaginuma the nut flush and Lazar a smaller one. The third player needed the board to pair on the river to preserve his tournament life, but the {3-Hearts} changed nothing, so Yagonuma scooped the main pot and Lazar took the side to send the middle stack to the cage.
