This Is Ben Lamb's World, We Are Just Visiting

To say that Ben Lamb has been on a heater is quite the understatement. He is running like he is on the sun. Lamb has just scored a double knockout to become the second player of the day to break the 400,000 mark. Lamb raised to 2,400 on the button, and both of the blinds made the call.

The flop came out {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and the small blind checked. The big blind went all in for about 14,000, and after getting a count, Lamb threw out a stack of orange chips worth about 60,000. It was on the small blind now, who had about 35,000 or so. He announced himself all in, and the cards were flipped up.

Lamb: {8-}{5-}
Small Blind: {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{5-}

Inexplicably, Lamb was actually behind in an all in, and would need to get lucky to score the double knockout. Of course, this is Ben Lamb we are talking about, so the table was hardly surprised when a {5-} hit the turn to fill up Lamb. The river came a black {k-Clubs}, and Lamb collected all the chips, upping his stack to around 415,000.
