Brian Yoon: Q♦Q♣
Byung Shin: 7♥7♣

Brian Yoon managed to triple up shortly after being left with one chip then moved all in again for 45,000 under the gun. Both David "ODB" Baker in early position and Mike Vanier in the big blind called.
Baker and Vanier checked down the A♥6♦3♣J♦9♥ board and Yoon showed 9♦7♥ for a rivered pair of nines that was good enough to win the pot and triple up yet again.

The flop came K♠9♦7♣ and Yoon bet 35,000, leaving just 10,000 behind. Yokosawa called and Yoon checked the Q♥ turn. Yokosawa then moved all in.
"I promise you I'm calling," Yoon said as he took a few moments before tossing in his last 10,000. He showed J♣J♥, while Yokosawa had A♦2♦ as the river came the 5♦ to earn Yoon yet another double up.
The action folded to Brian Frasca in the small blind who raised to 240,000 effective. Frank Brannan burned all of his time banks waiting for a pay jump which did not come before he called off.
Frank Brannan: A♠10♦
Brian Frasca: Q♥10♣
Brannan was in good shape against Fransca's hand and it stayed that way on the 8♠5♥5♦5♣2♣ runout as Brannan held to double through Frasca.
