Lamb Escapes From Elimination

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Not long ago Ben Lamb had jammed into a bet and a raise by Truyen Nguyen, and got through with it by forcing folds. This time, he was called, however, and had a sweat for his tournament life.

On the {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} turn, Nguyen bet 13,000 and Lamb moved all in for 52,375. Nguyen gave it some thought and called to table the {A-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a straight and an open-ended straight flush draw. Lamb had the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for the second nut flush draw and the {5-Diamonds} on the river brought a straight on the board to chop it up.
