Adam Lamers

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Joey Padron opened to 1,200,000 in middle position and Richard Freitas made a small three-bet to 2,600,000 on the button. Padron called and the flop of 9♠2♠2♣ hit the felt. Padron checked to Freitas who continued with a bet of 2,800,000. Padron check-raised to 6,000,000 and Freitas ripped all in for 12,400,000. Padron asked for a count and then called to put Freitas at risk.

Richard Freitas: K♥9♥ All in
Joey Padron: A♥9♣

Padron was already ahead with the better kicker but the A♣ on the turn secured his victory. Freitas was left drawing dead to the 5♠ on the river and became the first elimination of the day.

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Adam Hendrix raised to 1,200,000 in the cutoff and Tomas Szwarcberg slid out a three-bet to 7,700,000 in the small blind, leaving himself with just 600,000 behind. Hendrix just called, and they went to a flop of Q♠5♠4♥. Szwarcberg checked to Hendrix who announced all in, and Szwarcberg called off the last of his chips.

Tomas Szwarcberg: A♠8♣ All in
Adam Hendrix: A♥Q♣

Hendrix was in a commanding lead with a pair of queens but the 3♥ on the turn provided some chop outs. The 8♥ on the river paired Szwarcberg, but it was not enough to keep his tournament hopes alive.

Ruben Correia raised to 2,400,000 in middle position and Luka Bojovic folded his 9♠9♥ in the hijack. John Wasnock picked up a hand in the cutoff and shoved all in for 26,300,000. Joey Padron asked for a count on the button with his J♠J♥ and decided to lay his hand down as well.

The action was back on Correia who flicked in a chip to call off his last 17,000,000 chips. The cards were tabled and Correia was in need of some help.

Ruben Correia: A♦Q♥ All in
John Wasnock: A♥K♦

The flop came 8♦6♣5♠ and the 2♠ on the turn left Correia drawing to three outs. The river was the 7♣ and Correia was eliminated in 14th place.
