Lamb Comes from Behind for a Knockout
Nivel 10
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
Ben Lamb opened to 4,000 from under the gun. Jose-Luis Velador called in the cutoff, and the button called as well. When action got to the big blind, he potted it, and Benba was the only caller. The big blind was pretty short and moved all in on the flop. Lamb called and was going to need some help to win the pot.

The turn was a safe card for the all-in player, but the river gave Benba trip queens and the knockout.
"I don't even know why I was looking," joked tablemate John Kabbaj. "You're like a 10:1 favorite there. That guy should have gotten up on the flop." Lamb is up to 325,000.
