Ben Lamb Eliminated in 16th Place ($54,777)
The action started with a pot-sized raise to 350,000 by Ben Lamb from under the gun and Quan Zhou called in the next seat. Javier Francort then repotted in the next seat to 1,550,000 and it folded all the way back to Lamb.
Around two minutes passed while Lamb mulled it over and Michael Rocco then called the clock on him.
"I would have made a bet on that," Lamb smirked back in response and he was given a total of 50 seconds to act. As the timer hit the last five seconds, Lamb called all in for 1,410,000 and Zhou folded.
Ben Lamb: K♣K♠10♣2♠
Javier Francort: A♦A♣4♠2♥
The board ran out 10♦8♠2♠6♥J♣ and Lamb failed to improve despite plenty of equity, Zhou banged his hand on the rail as he would have won the hand.
"Who is your next victim?" Rocco was asked.
He replied, "definitely not him," while pointing to table neighbour and short stack Erik Seidel. By then, Lamb was already gone from the stage as his tournament ended in 16th place for $54,777.
