Chewey Lam Eliminated

Chewey Lam moved all in from the cutoff and Scott Warren made the call for his last 6,500 from the small blind. Lam's pocket deuces were up against Warren's {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}. The flop was {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}.

"HOLD!" implored Lam.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds}.

"Come on, HOLD!" he yelled again.

The {A-Hearts}, though, spiked on the river and Warren raked in the pot. Chewey was down to only 13,000 after the hand.

A few hands later, Chewey moved all in over the top of Warren's UTG raise from the button and was called. His {J-Hearts} {9-Clubs} needed some serious help against Warren's {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. Chewey couldn't improve on the {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {K-Spades} {7-Spades} board and he hit the rail.

After the hand, Warren was up to 46,000.
