Lucas Lew Eliminated in 12th Place ($12,443)
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Lucas Lew raised to 1,300,000 from the button and got called by Kelly Gall in the big blind leading to a 8?4?6? flop.
Gall checked over to Lew who continued with a bet of 1,200,000. Gall called to bring out the 3? on the turn
Gall checked to Lew again who tossed out a bet of 3,000,000. Gall counted out a check-raise to 7,200,000 and Lew quickly jammed. Gall snap-called and sent both players to a two card runout with Lew's tournament life at risk.
Lucas Lew: A?8?
Kelly Gall: 7?5?
When the cards were turned up, Lew got the unfortunate news that he was drawing dead as Gall had flopped the nut straight.
The dealer put out the inconsequential 6? on the river and made Lew's exit official as he headed to the payout desk in 12th place for $12,443.
