Down to 24; Marchese Busts Lamb in Huge Pot

Tom Marchese raised it up to 160,000 under the gun and Ben Lamb called in middle position.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Marchese checked to Lamb who fired out 220,000. Marchese raised it up to 720,000 and it was back on Lamb. The 2011 WSOP Player of the Year decided to three-bet to 1,370,000 and now Marchese had a big decision.

Marchese gave it some thought and put out a four-bet to 2,070,000. A raising war was in full effect and Lamb pulled the trigger, he moved all in for 4,700,000 and Marchese made the call.

Marchese showed {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and he needed to dodge some cards, since Lamb showed {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a gut-shot straight and flush draw. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river the {7-Diamonds} eliminating Lamb in 25th place.
