Luis Velador Eliminated in 3rd Place ($211,715)
Level 26
: Limits 120,000/240,000, 0 ante
Short on chips, Luis Velador was roughly forced to commit his remaining chips from the big blind after a button raise from Ben Lamb and a call from James Chen in the small blind.
A side pot between Lamb and Chen would ensue after the dealer rolled out the 9?7?9? flop. Lamb bet out and Chen called. Both players checked the 10? turn and Chen would fold to a bet from Lamb on the 7? river.
Luis Velador: J?10?3?2?
James Chen: J?J?5?4?
Ben Lamb: A?A?10?3?
Velador didn't find the help he needed and was out in 3rd place.
The players are on a short break before starting heads-up play.
