Lamb Wins With Two Pair
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Michael Martinelli made the minimum raise to 20,000 in the hijack and was called by Ben Lamb on the button. Blinds Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu followed suit and a flop of 10♣Q♦6♠ was fanned.
The action checked to Lamb, who made a bet of 45,000. Ivey and Negreanu got out of the way before Martinelli tossed in a call. Lamb then sized up to 130,000 on the 8♠ turn, and received yet another call.
"I'm likely gonna pot the river," Martinelli stated before the 10♦ river fell. However, he did not do so as he opted to check instead. Lamb checked behind and Martinelli showed A♠J♠6♦5♥ for a missed combo draw and two pair, tens and sixes.
Lamb played the better two pair with A♥8♥6♣5♣ for tens and eights and raked in the pot as a result.
