Jordan Lamberg
Jordan Lambert explained the logic behind his all in re-raise against Kenny Ng.
"He told me that he always plays the first hand after the break. There was no way that I put him on A-K," said Lamberg.
Ng had a huge range and could have had any two cards. When Lamberg pushed, the last thing he expected was to find out that he was dominated.
On his poker blog, Lamberg wrote that he was down to his last $200 in spending money. He's attending school in Australia during a semester abroad. His friend Kaja, back in Miami, won a seat online but could not attend the event. Since Lamberg was already in Australia, he was the natural choice to replace Kaja. Lamberg was allowed to take his friend's seat. Not only did he make the money, he advanced to the final table. Congrats to Jordan Lamberg for a magnificent run.
