Lamb Doesn't Fall into a Trap

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

With roughly 30,000 in the pot, Dmitry Yurasov and Ben Lamb tangled on the board reading {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

Yurasov was in the big blind, checking to Lamb, who had the button. Lamb paused for a bit, thinking whether to check or bet. Then he decided for the first option.

That was the right decision from Lamb, who would have only gotten into trouble, surely losing any chip he'd put in. Yurasov tabled {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} with a grin on his face as he was trapping with nuts, ready to drop a check-raise bomb.

However, Lamb avoided any further damage, and the next hand was dealt.
