Lamb Jumps Up in the Counts
Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Viktor Blom raised to 75,000 in the cutoff and was called by Ben Lamb on the button. Veselin Karakitukov then made it 330,000 in the small blind, which only Lamb called.
The flop fell 7♠5♠8♣ and Karakituov put Lamb all in for his final 670,000 chips. Lamb snap called to put himself at risk.
Ben Lamb: 9♠8♠7♥6♥ 
Veselin Karakitukov: A♥A♣J♠4♣
Lamb had flopped the nuts and improved to a flush on the Q♠ turn. The 7♦ river even gave him a full house as he stacked up a huge double-up.
