Benba Takes a Big Hit

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Ben Lamb on Day 1a.
Ben Lamb on Day 1a.

After Liang Shi opened for 1,700, 2011 World Series of Poker Player of the Year Ben Lamb three-bet to 6,000 from the hijack. Not to be outdone, Shi four-bet to 16,700 and Lamb hit the tank. He began to break down his chips with the wheels in his head apparently turning. Eventually he tossed in a big five-bet and Shi called off for 69,200 total.

Lamb: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Shi: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Shi was ahead with kings and looking to avoid any tomfoolery. The {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop gave Lamb a pair of queens, but that'd be all the help he would get as the {5-Hearts} blanked on the turn followed by the {7-Diamonds} on the river.
