Spets Eliminates One

The action started with Age Spets opening to 1,800. David Vamplew and Tom McCormick made the call, as Michael Lipman went into the tank. With only 4,000 chips behind, he finally decided to just call, as the four saw the flop come

It checked around to McCormick, who threw in a bet of 3,900. Lipman again thought about his decision for over a minute, before opting to call off his remaining chips. Spets was next to act, and he took his time, before moving all in for approximately 22,000 in chips.

“Protection for ya,” said McCormick to Lipman, as Vamplew got out of the way.

Lipman got out of his seat, as he waited for the action to be complete. McCormick ended up folding, as Spets rolled over for top pair. Lipman confidently tabled his for an up-and-down straight draw, as both players waited for the dealer.

“Three! Three! Three!” pleaded Lipman, as the dealer rolled over the on the turn. “Eight,” he cried, but the river would be no help, with the giving him a lesser pair, as he was sent to the rail.
