Adam Lamphere Eliminated in 17th Place ($3,138)

There will be no final table for Adam Lamphere. The runner-up the past two times the MSPT came to town, Lamphere began today the fifth-shortest stack. He got lucky to double when his Big Slick cracked aces, and he used those chips to make his way deep into the money. Alas, his run just came to an end courtesy of JC Chen.

It happened when Lamphere shoved all in preflop holding the and Chen called him with . The flop paired Chen's eight, but it also contained two diamonds to give Lamphere a flush draw. A on the turn improved Chen to trips, while an on the river gave him a full house. Lamphere missed his flush and had to settle for 17th place. Still, that's three times the MSPT has come to FireKeepers and three times Lamphere has shown he's one of the best.
