Adam Lamers Eliminated in 5th Place ($13,441)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Adam Lamers
Adam Lamers

Hand #88: Adam Lamers jammed for 1,460,000 from the cutoff, and Jorge Ruiz three-bet shoved for 2,350,000 in the small blind, chasing out Jesse Kertland in the big blind.

Adam Lamers: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Jorge Ruiz: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

"King!" Lamers' rail yelled out.

The {5-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop was of little help to Lamers, and the {6-Clubs} turn left Lamers looking for a king or queen to come behind and win, or a three for a chop. The {8-Spades} river bricked off, and the PokerNews Live Reporter took his leave with a rousing amount of applause from his supportive rail.
