Lamb Extends Chip Lead With Back-to-Back Scoops
Level 25
: Limits 100,000/200,000, 0 ante
Brad Ruben opened from late position and Ben Lamb defended the big blind.
Lamb check-called a bet from Ruben on the 5♥2♥2♣ flop and both players checked the 9♣ turn.
Lamb would then lead out on the 10♦ river and Ruben made the call to see Lamb's two pair as he tabled Q♦Q♥5♦4♦ for queens and fives.
In the next hand, Lamb would get involved with Luis Velador, as he three-bet a late position raise from the small blind and comment, "probably a good call," as Velador put in the calling chips.
Lamb continued the preflop aggression by betting on the J♣9♠A♦ flop and Velador would call.
Both players checked the 3♥ turn and the 3d] river, with Lamb tabling A♦10♦10♠2♦ for two pair, growing his chip count to around the four million mark.
