A couple of PLO hands involving Ben "Benba" Lamb to report.

In the first, Lamb opened for 50,000 from under the gun and it folded around to the blinds where both Brian Rast (small) and Minh Ly (big) called the raise. The flop came {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. It checked to Lamb who bet 150,000, and Rast and Ly stepped aside.

Lamb grabbed a few there, but was still sitting on the short stack when another PLO hand arose, this one involving himself and Rast again.

We picked up this one following the {2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop, when Lamb checked, Rast bet 50,000, Lamb check-raised all in for 361,000, and Rast called.

Lamb: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Rast: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}

Nut flush draw for Rast, and top set for Lamb. The turn was the {7-Spades} and river the {8-Spades}, and Lamb survived with a straight.

Benba bumps up to 732,000 after that sequence, while Rast now has 1.56 million.
