Level 29 (40,000/80,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 447
Players Remaining: 3
Average Stack: 4,470,000 (55.9 Big Blinds)
Final Table Hands: 72

Good news for Andy Spears and James Gilbert: They are guaranteed at least $19,000 more than they were one hand ago.

Bad news for Andy Spears and James Gilbert: Brian Lemke has most of the chips.

Lemke and Ben Zamani were the top two stacks at the final table until things got crazy and they were all-in pre-flop against each other. Lemke raised to 175,000 from the button. Zamani 3-bet a big stack of 25,000 chips. Lemke announced all-in and Zamani made the call for a 7-million pot.

Zamani was way ahead at the start of the hand, but Lemke paired his Jack on the turn to knock out Zamani and chip up to more than 8 million.

Zamani can’t be too sore about Lemke’s come-from-behind win, since Zamani was on the receiving end on one of those hands about an hour ago, crippling Justin Zaki with AQ > AK.

Zamani now has more than $1.7 million in lifetime earnings, though this was his first recorded cash at the Borgata. His big score came back in January 2010. He took home $1,000,000 for a 4th-place finish in the EPT Main Event in Bahamas. He came into this final table seeking the first 1st-place finish of his career, but that quest will continue in whichever tournament he plays next – probably the $15,000 WPT Championship that starts here tomorrow.
