Lamb Pressures Seiver

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

The action folded to Ben Lamb in the small blind and he raised to 4,000. Scott Seiver bumped it up to 15,000 from the big blind, and as the clock counted down on Lamb, he four-bet to 37,000.

Seiver called, and when the flop landed {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Lamb again used his full extension of time before betting out 45,000.

Seiver went into the tank before a forced time extension button of 60 seconds was utilized. Eventually a further 40 seconds passed, and Seiver mucked his hand and dropped to roughly 80,000 in chips.

Aido's Lucky Ladies

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

Sergio Aido raised to 3,000 from the cutoff and Rainer Kempe three-bet to 13,000 from the big blind. Aido clicked the action back with a four-bet to 31,000. Kempe wasn't finished there as he jammed all-in and Aido instantly called, putting his 114,500 chip stack at risk.

Aido turned over {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} but was up against Kempe's {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Kempe was in great position. The turn landed the {q-Diamonds} and Aido took the lead in the hand. The river brought the {7-Hearts} and Aido's set of queens earned him a full double up.

Schein Eliminated for the Second Time

Level 3 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante
Alan Schein
Alan Schein

Unfortunately, Alan Schein has been eliminated for the second time today.

From observation, it appears as though Steffen Sontheimer did the damage after sending Schein down to 60,000 just a hand earlier.

Sontheimer is currently sitting behind a stack of 240,000 in chips.
