Adam Lamers

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.

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

Action folded to Sergio Veloso who moved all in from the small blind. Stefan Nemetz called for his last 5,100,000 in the big blind.

Stefan Nemetz: K♥8♣ All in
Sergio Veloso: 6♠5♥

The flop came 6♣4♥3♦ to give Veloso the lead with a pair of sixes and straight draw. Nemetz needed help going to the turn, which was the Q♠. The 7♥ river also failed to improve Nemetz, and he was eliminated in 22nd place.
