Nicholas Go

Wayne Lam opened to 200,000 from the button, and Nicholas Go shoved his remaining 375,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Lam made the call putting Go at risk.

Nicholas Go: Q J

Wayne Lam: Q T

As he often does in these situations, Go leaped from his chair, shouting in his native tongue, as he faced the possibility of exiting the tournament.

Go had a commanding lead, with Lam dominated and needing help. But the poker gods had other plans as the flop came down A Q T , giving Lam two pair and putting him in the lead.

The 6 on the turn gave Go a chance to chop the pot with a flush, prompting him to lean over the table, pointing at the space where the river card was to come, demanding a spade or a king from the dealer. However, the dealer didn't comply as they put the 7 on the river to seal Go's fate, eliminating him in 32nd place.

Go wished his tablemates good luck as he exited the tournament area, marking the end of his Main Event run. Lam moved up to over 7,000,000 chips, and is one of the current chip leaders.
