Three and Out for Ben Lamb

Hand #1

Huck Seed bets 35,000 in early position. Ben Lamb calls in middle position. Alan Keating raise to 100,000 on the button and both fold.

Hand #2
Board: {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

In the next hand, Ben Lamb bets 40,000 in middle position and Alan Keating makes it 100,000. Lamb calls. On the flop, Lamb checks and Keating bets 134,000. Lamb re-raises to 284,000 and Keating three-bets it to 459,000. Lamb thinks about it for five minutes and lays it down. Keating shows {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Lamb says he had it beat. "That's the secret to No Limit," Keating says. "Putting players to a decision for all their chips."

Hand #3
Board: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Soon after that, on the flop, Michael Zinna shoves with the nut flush: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Ben Lamb calls with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. Lamb needs lots of help on the turn and river and doesn't get it. He is out and Zinna is at 1,500,000.
