Hand #155: Ben Lamb

Level 39 : 500,000/1,000,000, 150,000 ante

Pius Heinz, Pius Pius Heinz, Pius Heinz had the button, and he opened to 2.1 million. It was time for another three-bet shove, but this time it wasn't Martin Staszko. It was Ben Lamb, down to 26.05 million, announcing his all in. Heinz folded, and Lamb keeps his head above water for now.

He's still got close to 30 big blinds, but the level is just about to go up to squeeze him down under 25bb.

Hand #156: Staszko Doubles

Level 39 : 500,000/1,000,000, 150,000 ante
Martin Staszko
Martin Staszko

Ben Lamb had the button to start this hand.

Martin Staszko raised all in for 21.525 million from the small blind after Pius Heinz raised to 2.1 million from under the gun. Heinz requested a count, got it and then called.

Heinz: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Staszko: {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Staszko was on the ropes with his tournament life on the line holding two overs to Heinz's pair. The flop came down {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Staszko picked up trip eights to take the lead.

The turn {4-Diamonds} gave Heinz a gutshot for some extra outs to eliminate Staszko with one more card to come.

The river completed the board with the {Q-Clubs} and Staszko successfully doubled up. Ben Lamb is now the short stack.
