White Kicks Lillis To The Curb

James Lillis
James Lillis

In Level 15 with blinds of 1,400/2,800 and an ante of 350, Chris "rumpthumper" White opened the action with a raise to 7,800 in middle position and was three-bet to 25,200 by James "Bagels" Lillis in the cutoff. Action folded back to White and he four-bet jammed for 88,000 effective, with Lillis making the call to put himself in a coin-flip situation for his tournament life.

James "Bagels" Lillis: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Chris "rumpthumper" White: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

A nine-high runout of {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} left Lillis high and dry, and he was eliminated from the tournament at the expense of White who has increased his chip lead in the process and now finds himself with a stack of 300,000.
