7th place: Roger Lamia

It seemed for a while that something was about to happen, and on this hand it did.

Guillaume Rivet opened the action with a min-raise, Eric Despres called and Roger Lamia 3-bet to 1.3M. Rivet then took a minute or so to think things through and then went all-in for almost 6M (covering both Despres and Lamia). Despres quickly folded but Lamia quickly called.

Rivet: Jack of Clubs Jack of Spades Lamia: Ace of Spades 6 of Spades. The board brought slight hope to Lamia as the flop came out 3 of Spades 7 of Clubs 6 of Clubs but the 7 of Hearts turn and 8 of Clubs river gave Rivet the pot, adding 4.6M to his stack.
