Lamb Slammed In 5th ($53,319)
After a few hours of lots of chopped pots, Ben Lamb was scooped and eliminated in 5th place. On that hand, Lamb raised to 175,000 and was called by Anders Taylor.
Lamb got all in and was called by Taylor on a flop of 7
6
4. Their hands:
Taylor: A
432
Lamb: A
975
The board finished with the K on the turn and A on the river, giving Taylor a flush to go along with the nut low, scooping the pot and busting Lamb, who took $53,319 of the prize pool.
Chappus Forced Out in 4th Place ($71,728)
A raising war with Anders Taylor got Michael Chappus all in for his tournament life preflop. Their hands:
Chappus: A852
Taylor: AK85
The flop was bad for Chappus, coming KQ10 to pair Taylor. The turn 4 didn’t improve his hand and when the Q landed on the river there was no low hand and Taylor scooped it all, knocking Chappus out in 4th place, winning $71,728.
Taylor Busts in 3rd ($97,913)
Anders Taylor got all in preflop and was called by Steve Jelinek, who had him covered. Their hands:
Taylor: QQ42
Jelinek: J986
The flop was deadly for Taylor, coming 966 to give Jelinek a quick full house. The 8 turn was meaningless and the K river made sure that Jelinek was moving on to heads up and Taylor was the 3rd-place finisher. Taylor made $97,913 for his strong finish.
Jelinek moved heads up holding a near 3-1 chip lead over John Gottlieb.
