Lamb Extends Chip Lead With Back-to-Back Scoops
Level 25
: Limits 100,000/200,000, 0 ante
Brad Ruben opened from late position and Ben Lamb defended the big blind.
Lamb check-called a bet from Ruben on the 5?2?2? flop and both players checked the 9? turn.
Lamb would then lead out on the 10? river and Ruben made the call to see Lamb's two pair as he tabled Q?Q?5?4? for queens and fives.
In the next hand, Lamb would get involved with Luis Velador, as he three-bet a late position raise from the small blind and comment, "probably a good call," as Velador put in the calling chips.
Lamb continued the preflop aggression by betting on the J?9?A? flop and Velador would call.
Both players checked the 3? turn and the 3d] river, with Lamb tabling A?10?10?2? for two pair, growing his chip count to around the four million mark.
