Big One for Begs, Lamb Loses

Steven Begleiter
Steven Begleiter
Steven Begleiter opened with a raise to 425,000 from the hijack seat, and Ben Lamb reraised to 1.1 million from the cutoff. It folded around and Begleiter called.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Begleiter checked, Lamb bet, Begleiter announced he was check-raising all in for his stack of 7.125 million, and after a bit of thought Lamb made the call.

Begleiter tabled {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for two pair, and Lamb showed his {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}.

"C'mon hold!" said Begleiter as he began to pace. Lamb stood up with his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on the spot where the dealer would be placing the remaining community cards.

They came {3-Diamonds} and {8-Hearts}, and Begleiter survives. He bounces up to 16.6 million, while Lamb has a huge tumble down to 4.37 million.
