Holden Has a Hand

Samuel Holden opened to 600,000 from under the gun, Ben "Benba" Lamb called from the small blind, and the dealer fanned {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Lamb checked, Holden continued for 800,000, and Lamb called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, Lamb checked again, and Holden fired 1.6 million. Lamb called.

The {k-Diamonds} completed the board, and Lamb quickly checked a third time. Under a menacing stare from Lamb, Holden slid 3.2 million into the middle. Lamb scratched his head, examined the massive pot, then began to stare at Holden once again.

Lamb opted to fold however, and Holden raked in the pot.
