Level 21 : Limits 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Matthew Valeo raised from under the gun, and once it folded to Ben Lamb on the button, he put in a three-bet. It folded back to Valeo who four-bet all in for just 30,000 more, and Lamb quickly made the call to put Valeo at risk.

Matthew Valeo: 8♠4♣3♦2♠ All in
Ben Lamb: A♥6♣4♥3♥

Valeo was unable to survive once the board ran out 9♣A♣K♠Q♥9♥ and Lamb scooped the pot with his two pair, aces and nines, as Valeo was sent to the payout desk in 12th place.

Maxx Coleman raised the button and short-stacked Ben Lamb made the call.

Heads up they went to the 4♥5♥10♠ flop and Lamb led before being raised by Coleman. Lamb got the rest of his stack in with two cards to come.

Ben Lamb: A♥2♥5♦3♣ All in
Maxx Coleman: 7♣6♦5♠4♣

Lamb had Coleman drawing dead to any of the pot when the 3♥ rolled off, giving him a straight flush. The 2♣ that fell on the river was merely a formality.

Bambrick Accidently Slow Rolls Blom

Level 21 : Limits 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Action folded to the small blind Ryan Bambrick who raised and was called by the big blind Viktor Blom.

Blom called a bet from Bambrick after the Q♣A♣J♥ flop, and 6♥ turn.

The river brought the K♥ and both players checked. Bambrick told Blom "You got it" and as Blom was ready to turn his hand over, Bambrick said "Wait, I shouldn't have said that I have a straight" and tabled J♦10♠2♦4♠ for Broadway, and Blom mucked his hand.

Bambrick was extremely apologetic, and Blom seemed unfazed by the incident.
