Lucas Lew Eliminated in 17th Place ($55,800)
Level 41
: 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Brian Smith made it 5,500,000 to play from under the gun, and action folded around to Lucas Lew on the button, who three-bet all in for 35,000,000. It came back to Smith, who thought for a while before he slammed in the call.
Lucas Lew: A♠J♦
Brian Smith: A♦Q♠
Lew was in trouble and needed some help from the poker gods to stay alive. The 2♥6♥7♦ flop didn't change affairs, and when the 9♥ turn and 10♦ river both drew blanks, Lew was sent to the cage in 17th spot.
