David Stamm Eliminated in 3rd Place ($148,183)
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
For several hands, David Stamm deliberated whether to call an all-in or go all in himself, being the short stack at the table. Eventually, in the small blind, he opted to shove. Naseem Salem, in the big blind, asked for a count and eventually made the call, leading to a showdown.
David Stamm: Q?Q?
Naseem Salem: 4?4?
Jamie Walden and Salem were anticipating a flip, but Stamm held the superior pair. Even after the 10?6?9? flop, it seemed like Stamm might double up.
However, the 4? on the turn changed everything and with no help from the J? river, Stamm was eliminated from the tournament.
