Lambert Wins Rollercoaster Hand

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With his final 24,000, the player in the small blind moved all in on Aaron Lambert's big blind. After the count and some thought, Lambert decided to call but his {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} was behind the {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} of his opponent. The lead in this hand, however, would change on every street.

The flop came out {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs} and now a pair of King's were the best hand. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and another comeback was in the works with a pair of Aces. The {10-Diamonds} river filled up a strait for Lambert though to gave him the pot and the knockout blow.

Lambert now has 77,000 chips.
