Lamb Takes It with a Boat

Level 19

Seth Davies limped with the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Ben Lamb did the same with the {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. David Peters checked his button option with the {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and then all three players checked the {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Spades} flop.

Davies led out for 80,000 on the {9-Hearts} turn, Lamb called with trips, and Peters got out of the way. Both players then checked the {J-Clubs} river and Lamb won it with a boat.

Ben Yu Eliminated in 5th Place ($33,600)

Level 18
Ben Yu - 5th Place
Ben Yu - 5th Place

Ben Yu moved all in for 655,000 first to act and Seth Davies called after action folded to him on the button.

Yu: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Davies: {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The {j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop gave Davies a gutshot straight draw (remember aces play as fives in short deck), and he hit it when the dealer burned and turned the {9-Hearts}.

Yu was looking for a non-heart ten on the river to say alive but it wasn't in the cards as the {6-Spades} bricked.

Lamb Puts Yu to the Test After Going Runner-Runner

Level 17

David Peters and Ben Yu limped and Ben Lamb checked his option to see a {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop.

Peters checked, Yu bet 100,000 with his {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Lamb raised to 260,000 with nothing but the {q-Spades}{7-Spades}. Peters got out of the way and then both Bens checked the {Q-Hearts} turn.

Yu checked again on the {Q-Diamonds} turn and Lamb, who hit a runner-runner boat, moved all in. Yu had 770,000 back and burned through a couple time extensions before laying down his inferior full house.

Runner-Runner Keeps Yu Alive

Level 17

Ben Yu limped holding the {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} and David Peters checked his button option with the {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

When the flop came down {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, Yu checked and Peters bet 130,000 with his straight. Yu check-raised all in for 815,000 and Peters quickly called.

Yu was in a bad spot but the {7-Hearts} turn did give him a flush draw. He hit it too when the {9-Hearts} spiked on the river.
