Event 5: Shamica Lamar Takes Out Two to Send the Field Into the Money

Level 16:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining:  33 of 264

Before hand-for-hand play began, a three-way pot developed with Bassam Mourad all in for 57,000 from UTG+1 against Shamica Lamar in the big blind and Daniel Millien who was UTG.

The flop was 10h7d2s and Millien committed his remaining 6,000 to the pot with 9s9h for a pair of nines, but was drawing very thin against Lamar’s 10d10c for a set of tens. Mourad was well behind as well with AdJd.

The 6s turn and Ks river completed the board, safe for Lamar to score a double elimination to send the remaining field into the money.

Shamica Lamar  –  230,000  (46 bb)
