Cowen Takes The Lead From Lamb
Level 29
: 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
In the first hand in three-handed play, Robert Cowen raised to 600,000 on the button with the 
and Ben Lamb defended the big blind with the 
. On the 
flop, Lamb check-called for 550,000 and the 
turn paired the board.
Lamb checked for the second time and then called a bet worth 850,000 as the 
river improved both players.
The third check by Lamb triggered a third barrel by Cowen worth 2,400,000 into 4,450,000 for just over half the pot.
Lamb was staring his opponent down while the Brit only glanced at the board. The call followed and that changed the lead, as Cowen now pulled ahead of Lamb by a small margin.
