Benba Takes a Big Hit
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
After Liang Shi opened for 1,700, 2011 World Series of Poker Player of the Year Ben Lamb three-bet to 6,000 from the hijack. Not to be outdone, Shi four-bet to 16,700 and Lamb hit the tank. He began to break down his chips with the wheels in his head apparently turning. Eventually he tossed in a big five-bet and Shi called off for 69,200 total.
Lamb: 
Shi: 
Shi was ahead with kings and looking to avoid any tomfoolery. The 
flop gave Lamb a pair of queens, but that'd be all the help he would get as the 
blanked on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
