Finger Wins Biggest Pot of the Tournament Thus Far to Eliminate Makhija & Lamb
A monster pot just went down at Table 452 that resulted in Amit Makhija and Ben Lamb hitting the rail. Not only that, it established a clear chip leader in Germany's Martin Finger, who won his first bracelet a couple weeks back.
We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know that Makhija, who had about 340,000, ended up all in while Lamb and Finger created a sizable side pot. After the stacks were counted, Lamb ended up all in for 1.1 million while Finger had him covered by less than 100,000.

Makhija got it in with the best hand, while Lamb was in the lead for the side pot. Unfortunately for them both, the flop delivered Finger a king and the lead. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing and Finger scored the double elimination.
Meanwhile, Fabian Quoss was eliminated from the feature table by Gus Hansen in unknown action.
