Lamb Doubles Opponent Early

Ben Lamb accumulated most of his chips on day 1 by not being afraid to play a big pot. Well he has started where he left off today, but unfortunately for him, he was on the wrong side of the pot this time. When we got to the table, Lamb and Rhynie Campbell were in a big pot with about 25,000 in the middle going to the river. The board read {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{q-Spades}, and the river had just been dealt the {9-Hearts}. Campbell checked to Lamb, who put out 30,000, enough to put Campbell all in. Campbell put his stack together, just short of 20,000, and slid it into the middle to make the call. Lamb said "nice call" and Campbell showed {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for two pair. Lamb mucked his hand, dropping him to a bit under 160,000, which is still one of the top 10 stacks in the room.
