Ceci Liao Eliminated in 3rd Place ($81,573)
After being down under six big blinds and then doubling up, Ceci Liao was able to chip up to over 2,000,000 with a few preflop pick-ups and a hand she played against Shiina Okamoto.
On her final hand, she had 2,240,000 to start. Jamie Kerstetter opened to 200,000 from the button. Liao was in the small blind and three-bet to 850,000. Shiina Okamoto was in the big blind and shoved all in. Kerstetter folded and Liao called.
Ceci Liao: Q♥Q♠
Shiina Okamoto: K♦K♣
Liao was at the wrong end of a cooler, and the flop K♠7♥4♥ left her with very little hope. She would need running queens or hearts to win the hand, but the 3♠ on the turn had her drawing dead.
