So said Mickey, our intrepid reporter, as though he were requesting another serving with his dinner. What he was referring to, though, was another hand in which Ben Lamb was found continuing his late night feast upon the outer Table 334.
In this one, Andrew Hinrichsen opened for 350,000 from the button, and Lamb defended his big blind. Both checked the 

flop, then Lamb led out for 400,000 following the
turn. Hinrichsen called the bet.
The river was the
and this time Lamb led for 720,000. Hinrichsen thought for a while, then pushed his cards away.
Lamb now has 14.9 million, while Hinrichsen slips to 3.75 million.
From the button, Samuel Holden raised to 320,000. Gregory Kaplan reraised all in from the big blind and Holden called for less to put himself at risk for 2.65 million.

Tense moments on the outer table just now, and Ben Lamb, sitting in Seat 5, was right in the middle of it.
Lamb opened for 350,000 from middle position, and Eoghan O'Dea reraised to 800,000 from the button. Lamb called. The flop came 

. Lamb checked, O'Dea bet 800,000 again, and Lamb called. The turn was the
. Again Lamb check-called O'Dea's bet, this time for 1.7 million.
The river then brought the
and an alteration to the established sequence. Lamb studied for some time, then carefully pushed out two huge 40-chip high towers of greens, topped by several lavenders and a few more greens -- a (literally) towering bet of 2.7 million.
O'Dea went into the tank, watching Lamb as he looked down and away, riffling his chips. Finally, after at least three minutes, O'Dea folded.
Lamb is up around 14 million now, while O'Dea has 9.6 million.
From the hijack seat, Khoa Nguyen raised to 330,000. Konstantinos Mamaliadis reraised to 680,000 from the cutoff seat and everyone, including Nguyen, folded.
John Hewitt opened to 350,000, and the action folded to Matt Giannetti who called on the button. The flop fell 

, and Hewitt led for 430,000. Giannetti called, and the turn was the
. Hewitt led again - this time for 680,000 - and Giannetti again called.
The river was the
, and Hewitt fired a third bullet worth 1.23 million. Giannetti tanked for a bit, then raised to 4 million straight. Hewitt looked like he was going to be ill. He put his head in his hands, and sat silently for the better part of five minutes. Finally, he sheepishly said call, turning over 
for a set of sixes. Giannetti mucked, and Hewitt raked in the massive pot.
