Adam Lamers

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After justing losing a pot to Shannon Shorr, on the very next hand Martin Zamani had the last of his 76,000 chips in the middle. He was up against Brandon Hamlet and was in a world of hurt.

Martin Zamani: Q♣J♦ All in
Brandon Hamlet: A♣Q♦

Hamlet was in a dominating position and had both of the suits covered. Zamani could not connect with the runout in any sort of way, bowing out along with a large list of others.

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

John Andress opened to 16,000 from under the gun and Daniel Sepiol ripped all in for 128,000 in the cutoff. Chino Rheem just flat-called in the big blind and Andress got out of the way.

Daniel Sepiol: 5♠5♥ All in
Chino Rheem: K♣K♦

Sepiol was looking for one of the two remaining fives in the deck but the board ran out Q♦6♥2♥8♠7♦, sending the rest of his chips to Rheem.

Where's the Seven?!

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sean Winter raised to 14,000 on the button and was called by Jesse Lonis and Shannon Shorr in the blinds. The flop came 6♥4♦2♣ and Shorr led out with a bet of 15,000. Winter called and Lonis got out of the way.

The turn brought the A♦ and Shorr checked this time. Winter checked it back and the 8♣ completed the board. Shorr checked one more time and Winter made a frustrated check.

Shorr flipped over 6♦4♣ for two pair and Winter could only muster one pair with 8♦5♦ after missing all of his draws.

"Where's the seven?" Winter asked. "Or the three? Or the diamond? Where's the seven?!"
