Philip Sam (San Jose, CA)
$40,391
Brian Lemke opened for 525k on the button, then Philip Sam announced he was all-in from the small blind (for about 1.7 million more).
Joe Daddario (bb) gave it some thought, then folded.
Brian also took a moment to consider, then made the call.
Philip held AQ and was racing against Brian's pocket 2s.
The board ran out 7 7 4 5 7 and Brian's pair of ducks improved to a full boat.
Philip Sam busted out in 3rd place, earning $40,391.
Philip came all the way from California to play some poker, thanks to his friend who plays the high stakes games here. He has recently moved to Canada to continue his career as a professional poker player.
Philip just plays no limit hold'em and doesn't care for the long, slow, tournament grind, so he's probably going to just stick to the cash games for the rest of his trip.
