Hand #54: Giannetti Takes One from Bounahra

Level 38 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Ben Lamb had the button.

Bob Bounahra raised to two million from under the gun. Action folded to Matt Giannetti in the big blind and he tanked for a bit. Giannetti eventually would make the call and the dealer ran out the {J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop. Giannetti checked and Bounahra checked.

The {5-Clubs} landed on the turn. Giannetti led for 2.45 million. Bounahra called.

The river was the {5-Spades} and paired the board. Giannetti fired 3.75 million. Bounahra went into the tank. After a little bit, he leaned back in his chair and stretched out a bit. He then leaned forward and stared at Giannetti before making the call.

Giannetti tabled the {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Bounahra mucked.

Hand #53: Bob Bounahra

Level 38 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Pius Heinz had the button.

Bob Bounahra raised to 1.95 million, and Martin Staszko defended his big blind to go heads up to the flop.

The dealer spread out {4-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {Q-Hearts}, and Staszko knocked the table. A bet of 2.8 million from Bounahra was enough for him to win the pot right there.

Quick Pause

Level 38 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

The action has been paused for just a moment while the eight remaining players square up in front of the hole-card cams.

By the by, everyone left is now a poker millionaire, guaranteed $1,010,015.

Sam Holden Eliminated in 9th Place ($782,115)

Level 38 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Hand #51:

Anton Makiievskyi had the button on the first hand back from the break.

Ben Lamb raised to 1.7 million from under the gun. Sam Holden reraised all in from the small blind for 11.125 million. Lamb called.

Lamb: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Holden: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Lamb added top pair and a flush draw. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and that gave Lamb the flush he needed to leave Holden drawing dead. The river completed the board with the {6-Diamonds}.

Holden began the final table as the short stack and was eliminated in ninth place for $782,115. Lamb moved to 34.4 million in chips.

Sam Holden gives an interview with Kara Scott directly after his bust out.
