Johnny Lam Was Just Eliminated by Kathleen Long

Long:
Lam:

Lam had the best of it with his pair of tens, and Long was once again behind in a huge pot, needing a nine or a king to take the lead.

Turn:

Just like that, Long had turned coal into a diamond, and when the river () failed to change things, Lam's tournament had suddenly come to an end. Long continued to climb up the leaderboard, thanks to a pair of fortuitous cards arriving exactly when she needed them.
