Ben Lamb

Ben Lamb shoved his last 1,315,000 in the cutoff and Nick Schulman looked him up.

Lamb: {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Schulman: {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"Who do you guys want to win?" Lamb asked Chow Hing Young and Kenneth Kee with a laugh, knowing they would be rooting for Schulman to score the knockout.

And the board was indeed on Schulman's side as the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} gave him higher two pair to eliminate Lamb in fourth place.

Kenneth Kee limped with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Nick Schulman checked his options with {K-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The {8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop saw Kee lead 200,000 with the top set and Schulman called. Unfortunately for Schulman, he hit another {8-Hearts} on the turn which looked like a good card for him but Kee had him crushed.

Kenneth Kee Eliminated in 2nd Place (HKD 1,319,369); Nick Schulman Wins for HKD 2,135,000

Level 16 : Blinds 0/0, 80,000 ante
Kenneth Kee
Kenneth Kee

Kenneth Kee limped with {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Nick Schulman peeled {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} on the button. Schulman raised to 650,000 and Kee matched the bid.

They continued to the {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop and Kee was close to drawing dead despite flopping top two. He jammed and Schulman called within a second.

Only running tens for a win or two more diamonds for a chop could prevent the tournament from being over. The {9-Spades} turn ended it right away and the {a-Diamonds} was just a formality.

Kenneth Kee walked away in second place while Nick Schulman turned his short stack debut into winning the title and more than $270,000 in prize money.
