Austin Farmer raised to 80,000 from the button, Matthew Lambrecht three-bet all in for about 580,000 from the big blind and Farmer called.

Matthew Lambrecht min-raised from the button to 80,000, Haim Toorgeman moved all in from the small blind for 310,000, and Austin Farmer tanked for a while in the big blind before moving all in over the top for about 2.8 million.

Lambrecht thought for a while before he folded.

Toorgeman turned over AsKs, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Farmer’s AcJh.

The board came 5s5d3cJc10d, and Farmer paired his jack on the turn to win the pot and eliminate Toorgeman in fourth place.

Austin Farmer  –  3,210,000  (80 bb)

Mike Baroud
Mike Baroud

After being knocked down to just 15,000 in chips, Mike Baroud was forced all in on the next hand from the small blind.

Scott Baumstein limped from the button for 40,000, Baroud was forced all in from the small blind for 15,000, and Matthew Lambrecht checked his option in the big blind.

Lambrecht and Baumstein checked to the river on a board of 9d4d4sAd4c, and Lambrecht bet 60,000. Baumstein folded.

Lambrecht showed 8s4c for trip fours, but to everyone’s amazement, Baroud turned over AsAh to win the pot with a full house on the turn, aces full of fours, to more than quintuple his chip stack.

Mike Baroud  –  85,000  (2 bb)
Matthew Lambrecht  –  1,400,000  (35 bb)

The next hand, Austin Farmer raised under the gun to 110,000, and Baroud called all in from the button for 85,000 with AdQh. Farmer turned over 9d6d, and Baroud needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came 10d7d2hJd5s, and Farmer won the pot with a diamond flush to eliminate Baroud in fifth place.

Austin Farmer  –  2,825,000  (71 bb)

Matthew Lambrecht

Matthew Lambrecht moved all in from the cutoff for 320,000, and Scott Baumstein called from the big blind with 9s9d. Lambrecht turned over AcJd, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Jc10s10hAsKh, and Lambrecht won the pot with two pair, aces and jacks, to double up in chips.

Matthew Lambrecht  –  700,000  (18 bb)
Scott Baumstein  –  2,250,000  (56 bb)

The next hand, Lambrecht got it all in under the gun for 700,000 with KsKh, and needed it to hold against the JsJc of Mike Baroud in the big blind, who had him covered by just 15,000.

The board came 10s9c5s9h3d, and the pocket kings held up for Lambrecht to win again, doubling up in chips as he knocked Baroud down to less than a small blind.

Matthew Lambrecht  –  1,460,000  (37 bb)
Mike Baroud  –  15,000  (<1 sb)

Mike Baroud limped under the gun for 30,000, Austin Farmer completed the small blind, and Scott Baumstein raised from the big blind to 135,000. Farmer folded, and Baroud called.

The flop came 10d7s3h, Baumstein bet 80,000, and Baroud called.

The turn card paired the board with the 3s, Baumstein bet about 115,000, and Baroud called.

The river card was the 2s, Baumstein checked, and Baroud moved all in for 1,305,000. Baumstein had 985,000 left in his stack, and he went into the tank for a long time.

After a while, Baumstein said, “You could be bluffing with the best hand.” After a bit more thought, Baumstein added, “I feel like you don’t have it.”

Eventually, Baroud called for a clock, and shortly after the 30-second countdown started, Baumstein called all in for 985,000.

Baroud showed 6d4d for a six-high bluff, and Baumstein triumphantly turned over AsKc to win the pot with ace high.

After the hand, Baumstein said, “If you hadn’t called the clock, I might not have called.” Baumstein later added that he was concerned that Baroud may have had something like pocket fours.

Scott Baumstein  –  2,710,000  (90 bb)
Mike Baroud  –  320,000  (11 bb)

With five players remaining, the average chip stack is about 1,370,000 (46 big blinds). The remaining players are all guaranteed at least $15,905 each.

Austin Farmer limped from the cutoff for 30,000, T.K. Miles completed the small blind, and Mike Baroud checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came Kd9d4c, and it checked to Farmer, who bet 50,000. Miles check-raised all in for about 375,000, and Baroud folded.

Farmer quickly called with KsJh for a pair of kings, and Miles turned over 7d5d for a diamond flush draw. Miles needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 5h, giving Miles additional outs with a pair of fives, but the river card was the 2h. Farmer won the pot with his pair of kings to eliminate Miles in sixth place.
