Minh Ly: (X)(X) / {K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} / (X)
Ben Lamb: (X)(X) / {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts} / (X)

Minh Ly completed with the {K-Clubs} up and Ben Lamb raised with the {10-Hearts}. Ly made the call. On fourth street, Ly check-called a bet from Lamb and then check-called again on fifth. On sixth street, Ly picked up an open pair of jacks and bet out. Lamb raised to put himself all in for 101,000 more.

"How much more is it?" asked Ly.

"Not that much, it's less than one bet. Just put the money in and we'll move to the next street," responded Lamb.

Ly then sat there for about 20 seconds thinking before he said, "What if I don't want to call?"

"God, I might lose it right now," said Scott Seiver. "I swear, if he had anything right now this is unreal. He probably has quad jacks. Just been slowrolling like none other."

Eventually, Ly made the call and revealed the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} from his hole cards, giving him a pair of jacks and a flush draw. Lamb held the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for two pair, nines and tens. Ly got his seventh-street card first and then Lamb. Ly squeezed and revealed the {5-Diamonds}, meaning Lamb won the pot. Lamb turned over the {6-Hearts}. After the hand was over, Seiver reached out his fist and gave Lamb an emphatic fist bump.

"If anyone has been paying any attention to the World Series this year, there was no doubt in anyone's f***ing mind that Ben Lamb was winning that pot!" yelled Mike Matusow from right next to the table. "No f***ing doubt he was going to win that one."
