Daniel Amar (Atlantic City, NJ)
After the elimination of Jinglin Chen, there were a few sizable pots that played out and they left Daniel Amar wondering what was going on around him. Adi Prasetyo and Marc Matz each put dents in Amar’s stack, before he was finally playing just a few big blinds.
He got a full double through Prasetyo in one of the final hands of Omaha H/L, as Amar hit a wheel with {Ac}{9c}{3s}{2d} to best Prasetyo’s {Kh}{Jd}{4c}{3h} on a board of {Jh}{5c}{2c}{4h}{10s}. The short stack scooped but he couldn’t make it out of the Stud H/L portion of play.
He was eventually all-in with {Ac}{Jc}{Jh}{6h}{6h}{3c} already tabled and Prasetyo held {Ah}{Ad}{5h}{5c}{2s}{2c}. The big stack’s final card was the {Qh}, which changed nothing and Amar couldn’t find one of four full house outs on seventh, as the {2h} confirmed his 3rd place elimination.
Prasetyo will now enter heads up play with a slight chip lead, while Amar will make just over $2,000 for his podium finish.
