“He was on full blown tilt,” said Marsha Wolak when describing the recent behavior of Mike Browne before he was eliminated. “I’m glad he was though because he doubled me up.”
Lance Garcia, probably isn’t, however, as he ran into some unfortunate timing. Browne open shoved blind saying “Get me out of this tournament” and Garcia looked down at and figured he was in good shape to do just that. Unfortunately right beside Garcia lying in wait was George Lampert who woke up with pocket Kings at the perfect time. He moved all in for another 20K or so and Garcia made the crying call./ Browne had Q-7 and would be eliminated and Garcia would send over a stack of chips to Lampert who nearly tripled up. Garcia is still in good shape though as he’s just shy of 150K.
At another table, Steve Diamantas was down to his last 75K and called a raise from a player with J-9. The flop was a good one for Diamantas as it came to give him bottom two pair. He checked and his opponent bet. Steve moved all in and was quickly called by his opponent who held pocket Kings. The turn was the and the river was the and the player with pocket Kings was eliminated and Diamantas is up to approximately 175K after the hand.
