Lamb Takes a Hit

Last year's third-place finisher and WSOP Player of the Year Ben Lamb just took a big hit to his stack. After raising to 6,500 from early position, a player on the button reraised to 32,500. It folded back to Lamb who reraised all in, and his opponent called for 94,600 total.

Lamb had {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}, but needed help versus his opponent's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. But the board came {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, and Lamb is now down to about a dozen big blinds.
