Michael Addamo Bubbles the $25,000 Challenge
Level 14
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Michael Addamo opened the action with a raise on the button and Ben Lamb three-bet big out of the small blind, making it 75,000 to go. Addamo called and the flop fell 
. Lamb, who has been playing very aggressive throughout the first two levels of the day, continued for 41,000 and Addamo called.
On the 
turn, Lamb suddenly checked and Addamo bet 25,000 with some 220,000 behind. Lamb moved all in with the superior stack and Addamo tanked for more than five minutes, and two minutes into the first scheduled break of the day. Ultimately, Addamo called and the cards were turned over.
Michael Addamo: 
Ben Lamb: 
Addamo was the player at risk and in need of help, but the 
river was a blank to let the bubble burst.
