Lamb Back in Crushmode

We found Jamie Kerstetter all in preflop for around 190,000 and at risk against Ben Lamb.

Lamb: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Kerstetter: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

Kerstetter was racing for her tournament life but this was no ordinary race as it was against Lamb who seems to run pretty good at these things this summer. Lamb was indeed good when he pulled ahead on the {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop and stayed ahead for the knockout on the {6-Diamonds} turn and {10-Diamonds} river.

The very next hand, Lamb raised to 13,500 from early position and received calls from the next player to act and the big blind. All three players checked the {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop and the big blind led out for 15,000 when the {J-Spades} hit the turn. Lamb was the only caller and both players checked the {8-Clubs} river. The big blind turned over {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for a pair of queens which was no good against Lamb’s {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} for top-top.

Afterwards, Lamb told the big blind, “You could have gone bust that hand” referring to if the big blind had re-raised pre. In any case, the win gave Lamb wins with Big Slick on back to back hands against big pocket pairs and he is rolling.
