Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 3rd Place - Yan ($25,978)

Level 31 (Blinds 100,000/200,000/25,000)
Players Remaining: 2

Philip Yan (Princeton, NJ)
3rd Place - $25,978

Philip Yan opened the pot to 450,000 and Queen defends the big blind.  The flop comes out J 10 5 and the action goes check-check.  After the A on the turn, Queen check calls 450,000.  The river brings another A, and Alex check-jams Yan's 1,500,000 river bet.  Yan would ask for a count, only to find out he was covered by Queen.  Philip would make the call and Alex would table A 5 (rivered full house), and Yan would table AK.

Queen would send Philip to the podium with that tough beat, and is now the chip leader heads up:

Alex Queen - 24,000,000

Justin Liberto - 16,000,000
