Adam Lamers

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The action folded to Rafael Lopez in the small blind who shipped all in for 2,725,000. BJ McBrayer snap-called in the big blind and the cards were on their backs.

Rafael Lopez: Q♣7♣ All in
BJ McBrayer: K♠K♥

The flop came A♣Q♦2♥ to give Lopez a pair but McBrayer was still in the lead with his pair of kings. However, the 7♦ on the turn improved Lopez to two pair and McBrayer was unable to catch up on the 10♣ river. McBrayer paid off the all-in and was left with just 100,000 after the hand.

Just a couple of hands later, McBrayer was forced all in from the big blind but was unable to connect with the board and was eliminated in fourth place.

BJ McBrayer opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Eric Salazar three-bet to 825,000 on his left. Carl Masters four-bet shoved all in for 3,600,000 on the button. The blinds folded and MCBrayer deliberated for a minute before folding.

Salazar wasted little time before throwing his A♣Q♠ face up into the muck. Masters tabled his A♠K♦ right behind him as he collected the pot.
