Adam Lippert Eliminated in 10th Place ($10,661)

Shamus

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Joe Caffrey raised to 50,000 from middle position, then Patrick Houchins, sitting to Caffrey's left, swiftly set out a stack of pink (10,000) chips to raise to 200,000. Adam Lippert was next to act, and after checking his cards and thinking a moment, announced he was reraising all in for his last 448,000.

Jerry Van Strydonck was next in line, and had to think a little while before letting his hand go. It then folded back around to Caffrey who got out, then Houchins quickly called. The pair opened their hands:

Houchins {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Lippert {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

The flop hit Houchins, coming {2-Spades} {Q-Spades} {9-Diamonds} , and the {K-Diamonds} turn and {K-Clubs} river sealed it. Lippert left the table less than pleased, and after he'd stepped away Strydonck commented it probably was a good idea he didn't mention he'd folded {A-} {Q-} .
