Josh Damm Eliminated in 4th Place ($42,030)
After a roller coaster few hands for Josh Damm that saw him whittled to 210,000 chips in back-to-back hands versus Christopher Chung, then tripling up through Chung and John Monnette, Josh Damm's time in the tournament finally ran out a couple of hands later.
Now down to 150,000 chips again after dropping a pot to Monnette, Damm moved all in from the small blind after a limp on the button from Leonard. Chung called, as did Leonard to set up Damm's potential demise.
Damm drew three, as did Chung, while Leonard drew two. Chung then check-folded to a bet by Leonard, leaving Damm's execution in Leonard's hands.
Damm still needed to draw two and he was now up against a pat hand for Leonard.
On the final draw, Damm drew one, but was drawing to a chop as Leonard revealed that he was now in possession of 'the chicken' as it's become known at the table, 7x5x4x3x2x.
Damm held 7x4x3x2x and needed a five for a chicken / wheel of his own, but he instead pulled an 8x, forcing him to exit the coop, leaving three chicken farmers in the tournament.
