Finger Wins Biggest Pot of the Tournament Thus Far to Eliminate Makhija & Lamb
A monster pot just went down at Table 452 that resulted in Amit Makhija and Ben Lamb hitting the rail. Not only that, it established a clear chip leader in Germany's Martin Finger, who won his first bracelet a couple weeks back.
We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know that Makhija, who had about 340,000, ended up all in while Lamb and Finger created a sizable side pot. After the stacks were counted, Lamb ended up all in for 1.1 million while Finger had him covered by less than 100,000.
Finger: 
Lamb: 
Makhija: 
Makhija got it in with the best hand, while Lamb was in the lead for the side pot. Unfortunately for them both, the 
flop delivered Finger a king and the lead. Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed a thing and Finger scored the double elimination.
Meanwhile, Fabian Quoss was eliminated from the feature table by Gus Hansen in unknown action.
