David Stamm Eliminated in 3rd Place ($148,183)
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
For several hands, David Stamm deliberated whether to call an all-in or go all in himself, being the short stack at the table. Eventually, in the small blind, he opted to shove. Naseem Salem, in the big blind, asked for a count and eventually made the call, leading to a showdown.
David Stamm: Q♦Q♣
Naseem Salem: 4♥4♣
Jamie Walden and Salem were anticipating a flip, but Stamm held the superior pair. Even after the 10♠6♣9♠ flop, it seemed like Stamm might double up.
However, the 4♦ on the turn changed everything and with no help from the J♦ river, Stamm was eliminated from the tournament.
