Ben Lamb Eliminated in 9th Place ($177,085)
Level 25
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Danny Tang made it 650,000 to go and he was called by both players in the blinds including David Benyamine and Ben Lamb.
Three ways to the Q♠8♦2♠ flop, Benyamine checked and Lamb bet 900,000. Only Tang called and they headed to the 4♦ on the turn.
Lamb asked for the size of the pot, which had grown to four million by then, and then moved all-in for around 3,400,000 for Tang to call.
Ben Lamb: 10♠9♠7♦5♣
Danny Tang: A♠5♠4♥2♦
"Do you have a pair?" Lamb had asked when the cards were tabled and then said "fuck me" when he found himself up against two pair and the nut flush draw. Lamb needed one of the three blank jacks in the deck to survive but the Q♣ river ended his tournament in 9th place for $177,085.
