Lamb Doubles Through Liu

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

JJ Liu opened to 11,000 in middle position, the button called, and Ben Lamb shoved in his stack of 111,500 chips. Liu thought about it before putting in chips of her own, and the button folded.

Ben Lamb: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
JJ Liu: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The two were flipping and the {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop vaulted Lamb into the lead. The {8-Clubs} turn left him one card away from doubling.

"Heart," Lamb called out.

Indeed, the {10-Hearts} completed the board to keep Lamb alive and put a small dent in Liu's large stack.

Miracle River Gets Young Back In Seat

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Justin Young
Justin Young

Justin Young moved all-in preflop for 121,000 on top of a raise from Ehsan Amiri. Amiri gave it some thought and called.

Justin Young: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Ehsan Amiri: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Amiri took the lead on the flop of {6-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Young was out of his seat by the time the {8-Clubs} peeled off on turn.

"Good luck, guys," Young said and began walking off.

But Young turned around when the table erupted as the {k-Clubs} peeled off on the river to give him the best hand and save him from elimination.

"The get-up works!" Young said. "The get-up always works."

Young and Amiri have a history as the latter player three-bet the former with a light holding a few orbits earlier.

Martinet Doesn't Believe Bonomo, Sends Him Packing

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Justin Bonomo
Justin Bonomo

A completed board of {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} was spread across the felt with Justin Bonomo and Johan Martinet heads-up in the pot. Bonomo checked to Martinet who bet 25,000 into a pot of around 50,000. Bonomo over-bet shoved all in for 204,000, putting Martinet in the tank.

Martinet had Bonomo covered but it was still a tough decision for a healthy amount of his chips. After a few minutes passed, Martinet finally made the call. Bonomo turned over {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} as he stood up from his seat. Martinet held {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and that was enough to send Bonomo to the rail.

Justin Young opened to 8,500 in early position and Ehsan Amiri three-bet to 22,100 in middle position. The action folded back to Young, who called.

Young checked on the flop of {j-Spades}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs} and Amiri checked back. Young then led out with a bet of 15,000 on the {10-Clubs} turn and his opponent quickly called.

Young checked on the {6-Clubs} river and Amiri checked back. Young said he had ace-high and Amiri turned over {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} to the shock of the table.

"Getting frisky!" a player remarked.
