Hand #14

Brian Rast had the button. Scott Seiver raised to 100,000 and Ben Lamb reraised all in for 295,000. Seiver made the call when action got back to him.

Lamb: {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Seiver: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The flop came down {K-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} to put Lamb closer out the door. The turn was the {3-Spades} and now Lamb needed a deuce or a five. The river completed the board with the {9-Hearts} and ended Lamb's run. He finished in eighth place for $201,338.

Upon leaving the table, Phil Hellmuth congratulated Lamb and said, "I think you're a super talented player."
