Lamb Slaughtering His Table

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

Ben Lamb's stack has been growing quite a bit over the past hour or so. We missed all the fun so we checked Lamb's twitter page and found out that he has already "...been all in twice. Both times bluffing, both times they folded" which helped him get up to 37,000.

Not long later he tweeted, "Over 60k these guys aren't too good..." followed by a post explaining how he won a pot holding {a-}{k-} on a {k-}{7-}{3-}{8-}{9-} board to boost his stack up to 73,000.

After we started researching all these hands for this post Lamb won another pot with a straight to boost his stack above the 80,000 mark.

He even tweeted a picture of his chip stack and we're sure he'll be utilizing that stack in his quest to claim this year's "Player of the Year" award. Lamb was at the top of the leaderboard until Phil Hellmuth took 2nd in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship Tournament to take the lead. Hellmuth currently has 710.25 points while Lamb has 659.05.
