Lamb Laughs Last

[user75032]

The players keep raising and reraising. It feels like a big hand is going to be upon us very shortly. We thought we might have one when Ben Lamb raised from early position to 700,000 and Jeff Shulman reraised the button to 1.2 million. But Shulman folded to an all-in shove from Lamb.
