Ben Lamb Doubles Up

Ben Lamb's rail is ecstatic after watching their horse double up through Jeff Shulman. Shulman was the first preflop aggressor, opening the action to 700,000. Lamb was in the small blind and moved in for 1.71 million more when action passed to him. Shulman wasted little time in calling.

Lamb: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Shulman: {k-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

"Teeeeeeen!" shouted his fans. "Ben-ba! Ben-ba! Ben-ba!" They were even more rowdy when the flop missed Shulman, {9-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades}. The {Q-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Clubs} river gave Lamb and his fans a shudder, but neither one improved Shulman to the best hand. He paid off the double-up, increasing Lamb's count to 4.9 million.
