Simon Lam Eliminated by Yi Fang

Ron Paolucci raises under the gun, and Simon Lam moves all in with a short stack from middle position. Yi Fang calls from the hijack, and Paolucci calls all in as well. Any further betting will create a side pot between Fang and Paolucci.

The flop comes J43, Paolucci checks, Fang moves all in, and Paolucci thinks a moment before he folds.

Lam turns over QJ for a pair of jacks, and he needs it to hold to stay alive against Fang’s 55.

The turn is the 2, giving Fang an open-ended straight draw, and the river card is — the 5. Fang rivers a set of fives to win the pot and eliminate Simon Lam from the tournament.

Yi Fang  –  355,000  (88 bb)
Ron Paolucci  –  75,000  (18 bb)
Simon Lam  –  Eliminated
