Luis Velador Eliminated in 3rd Place ($211,715)
Level 26
: Limits 120,000/240,000, 0 ante
Short on chips, Luis Velador was roughly forced to commit his remaining chips from the big blind after a button raise from Ben Lamb and a call from James Chen in the small blind.
A side pot between Lamb and Chen would ensue after the dealer rolled out the 9♥7♦9♦ flop. Lamb bet out and Chen called. Both players checked the 10♦ turn and Chen would fold to a bet from Lamb on the 7♣ river.
Luis Velador: J♣10♠3♥2♥
James Chen: J♥J♦5♣4♥
Ben Lamb: A♠A♥10♣3♠
Velador didn't find the help he needed and was out in 3rd place.
The players are on a short break before starting heads-up play.
