Daniel Serafin

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]

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.
