Ben Lamb put his foot on the gas and never took it off. He opened preflop for 515,000 and was called by small blind Kevin Schaffel. Schaffel check-called 625,000 on a flop of {K-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. The turn was a third diamond, the {J-Diamonds}, drawing a hush over the gallery.

Schaffel checked to Lamb a second time. Lamb announced a bet of 1.35 million and slid the matching chips into the mdidle of the table. His railbirds got rowdy with cheers and applause when Schaffel released his hand.
