Adam Lamers

Level 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

There was a massive three-way all-in at one of the tables with three monster hands being revealed. Brandon Hamlet was at risk for 880,000, John Hennigan was all in for 1,330,000, and David Coleman had both players covered.

Brandon Hamlet: A♥K♣ All in
John Hennigan: A♠K♠ All in
David Coleman: Q♠Q♦

Coleman was in a great spot to take a huge lead in the tournament. The board ran out J♥J♦7♦8♥8♣ and Coleman's pocket queens held on for the double knockout.

"You're the best player ever, David," Connor Rash chimed in with the needle.

Level 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Brandon Hamlet opened to 120,000 from under the gun and Chino Rheem piled all in for 635,000 on the button. Drake Kemper reshoved all in from the big blind which got Hamlet to fold his A♠J♠.

Chino Rheem: K♥9♥[alllin]
Drake Kemper: 6♣6♦

The flop came 4♥4♦2♠ and Kemper was still in the lead. The 6♥ on the turn sealed the deal with a full house as Rheem started walking away from the table. The J♥ completed the board and David Coleman couldn't resist.

"You made a flush!" Coleman shouted to Rheem, knowing that it was no good.

Drake Kemper raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Connor Rash called from the big blind. The flop came 9♠5♠4♥ and Rash checked to Kemper who bet 85,000. Rash check-raised to 250,000 and Kemper instantly called.

The turn was the J♠ and Rash fired out a bet of 300,000. Kemper used a time bank before moving all in and Rash dumped his cards into the muck.

At the same time, Michael Brinkenhoff was eliminated at the other table, following Jeremy Becker out of the tournament area.

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

John Hennigan raised to 100,000 on the button and Jesse Lonis moved all in for 180,000 in the small blind. Hennigan quickly called and the cards were on their backs.

Jesse Lonis: Q♦9♦ All in
John Hennigan: A♥5♠

The flop came 10♣7♣5♥ and Hennigan was still in the lead with a pair of fives. The A♦ on the turn improved him to two pair and Lonis was drawing dead to the 3♠ on the river.

"Night, night, Jesse!" David Coleman celebrated as he won a side bet with Lonis now eliminated.

"Goodnight," Lonis said to the table as he departed.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

At one table, Connor Rash and Shannon Shorr got involved in a preflop battle with all of the chips going in the middle. Rash was the player at risk for 740,000 and they were off to the races.

Connor Rash: A♥Q♦ All in
Shannon Shorr: 3♠3♥

The flop came 7♦6♦4♦ which made things sweaty. Rash had the two overcards and picked up a flush draw. The 8♠ on the turn was a brick but the Q♠ on the river paired Rash, giving him a big double up.

On the other table, John Hennigan flopped top pair and doubled up against Jesse Lonis who turned an inferior pair.

Player	Chips	Progress
Connor Rash	1,550,000 950,000	950,000

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jeremy Dan raised it up from under the gun and Shannon Shorr defended his big blind. The flop came 7♠7♣6♣ and both players checked to the A♥ on the turn.

Shorr checked again and Dan fired out a bet of 85,000. Shorr check-raised to 215,000 and Dan called. The river was the A♦ and Shorr checked again. Dan moved all in for around 350,000 and Shorr instantly folded.

On the next hand, Shorr raised to 125,000 in the small blind and Dan burned through two of his time banks before announcing all in. Shorr quickly folded again which left Connor Rash shaking his head.

"How many time banks?" Rash rhetorically asked.

"What would you have done if you were me with aces?" Dan asked.

"The same. But I would've used three time banks," Shorr replied.
