Adam Lamers

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Dylan Lemery was down to just 175,000 chips and moved all in from the hijack. Craig Welko reraised on the button which forced out both of the blinds.

Dylan Lemery: K♦J♣ All in
Craig Welko: A♥K♥

The flop came Q♠8♣2♠ and Welko's ace-high was still in a dominating position. The 10♠ on the turn gave Lemery a straight draw but the 5♥ bricked out on the river.

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

After a couple of preflop raises, three players got all of their chips in the middle. Daniel Sears was the shortest stack at risk for around 200,000 and Nick Confessore was all in for just over 700,000. Carl Masters was the big stack and had both players covered.

Daniel Sears: A♥K♥ All in
Nick Confessore: J♠J♦ All in
Carl Masters: A♣A♦

The flop came A♠9♣2♥ and Masters improved to a set of aces to leave both of his opponents drawing slim. The J♥ on the turn was cruel to Confessore, although it did give him some hope. The river was the 5♠ and both of the shorter stacks were eliminated.

Jason Maeroff raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Joseph Brewer sat in silence for a minute in the big blind before sliding out a three-bet to 145,000. Maeroff quickly splashed in a four-bet to 360,000 and Brewer five-bet jammed all in. Maeroff snap-called and the cards were face up.

Jason Maeroff: A♠A♦ All in
Joseph Brewer: 9♠9♥

Maeroff held a commanding lead but still had to sweat two outs for Brewer. The board ran out 6♠2♣2♦J♥J♣ and Maeroff held on for a double up. His stack was counted out at 1,095,000, sending him over 2,000,000 and a healthy chip lead.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Marlon Hammond raised it up from early position and Dylan Lemery just called from a couple of seats over. They went heads-up to a flop of 8♥3♠2♠ where Hammond continued with a large bet of 110,000. Lemery called and the 6♣ landed on the turn.

Hammond jammed all in for 425,000 on the turn and Lemery was displeased but called anyway. Hammond flipped over A♥A♦ and Lemery was drawing slim with Q♥Q♦. The river was the J♠ and Lemery saw a healthy portion of his stack slide to Hammond.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Stephen Morgan shipped all in for his last 195,000 in middle position and Chad Link reshoved all in from the small blind. The big blind quickly folded and the two hands were tabled.

Stephen Morgan: A♦8♥ All in
Chad Link: Q♣Q♦

The flop came J♠6♠3♠ and Link was still in the lead as neither player held a spade in their hand. The 5♣ on the turn and the 8♠ on the river was not enough for Morgan who was eliminated.
