Team Adam Eliminated in 5th Place ($25,928)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vidur Sethi
Vidur Sethi

Mike Ruter of Team Ruter opened to 175,000 on the button and Michael Newman flat-called in the small blind. Vidur Sethi of Team Adam then three-bet jammed for 785,000 from the big blind. Ruter and Newman both called.

The flop came {9-Spades}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Ruter bet 1,100,000 when checked to. Newman snap-folded pocket queens face-up.

Vidur Sethi: {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Mike Ruter: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Sethi was dominated by the trip kings of his opponent and his rail was calling for spades. The rail got excited when the {7-Spades} on the turn gave their guy a flush draw. The {a-Spades} on the river gave him the flush, but it was no good against the full house of Ruter.

The flop came out {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Newman moved all-in for around 1,900,000 and Dighlawi folded. Newman showed {a-}{a-} and Dighlawi criticized the way his opponent played the premium hand, which led to a hostile back-and-forth between the two players.

"Let me know when you want to give me lessons," Newman said sarcastically after listing his tournament achievements.
