Chip leader Dennis Wilber raises to 90,000 from the button and Daniel Serafin three-bets to 245,000.  Wilber then moves all-in and Serafin calls.  They turn over:

Nye - [8d][8h]
Serafin - [6d][6s]

Tu Tran moves all-in for his last 196,000 before the flop and is called by Bradly Yazici on the button.  Daniel Serafin thinks for a moment before announcing that he is all-in.  Yazici immediately makes the call and the players turn up:

Yazici - [Kc][Kd]
Serafin - [As][Qh]
Tran - [Ah][Jd]

The flop comes [Jc][8d][3c], pairing Tran but leaving Yazici in the lead with his kings.  However, the turn is the [Ac] and suddenly Yazici is in third place.  The [6d] falls on the river.
