Ben Lamb's table recently broke from the Pavilion room to the Brasilia room. He drew a seat at Table #63 and he has played with at least one person at his table before.
Randy Lew has had an extremely impressive World Series of Poker so far. Boasting five cashes, and over $75,000 in winnings thus far Lew is more than ready to take down the big one. Lew came out of the gates today in the Main Event and never looked back.
Lew seems to have had a little setback though, recently we caught up with him calling from his big blind after an opponent in the hijack raised it up to 750. The flop came and both players checked.
The on the turn saw Lew fire out a bet of 600. The hijack called and both players went to the river. The saw Lew check and his opponent bet out 1,700. Lew threw it away and sits with around 60,000 in chips.
It seems Lew has had a bit of a set back, 60,000 is a plenty healthy stack, but he tweeted this before the dinner break.

Plenty of day left for Lew to build it back up. We will be on the look out for all Nanonoko happenings.
With a few thousand in the pot and a board reading , Johnny Sangha checked from under the gun, and Nacho Barbero followed suit right behind. The river saw Sangha fired out 2,300, and Barbero made a quick call.
"Two pair," Sangha said and rolled over , which prompted Barbero to slap the table, shake his head, and then muck his hand. The Argentinean is down to just 3,800.
Action opened with an early position raise to 700 which received one call. The player in the cutoff three-bet to 2,600 only to have Viktor Blom four-bet to 5,800 from the big blind. The other two players got out of the way rather quickly and action was back to the cutoff.
The player in the cutoff five-bet to 12,000 and action was back to Blom. Blom shuffled his chips before moving in 18,400 for a six-bet.
"Can't do that," the dealer said. "Action is capped at four raises."
"What are you talking about?" replied Blom. The entire table protested with cries of "What?" and "This is no-limit". The dealer listened to the words of the table and the hand progressed. Blom's opponent moved all in and Blom let out a sigh and called.
Blom:
Opponent:
The dealer dealt out a great flop for Blom as it came . The dealer was about to deal fourth street but was stopped by an ESPN employee who wanted to hold the action for taping. Blom's opponent made to wait and stare at the board that cracked his kings for about 45 seconds until the camera crews arrived.
Once the camera crew was there the dealer continued with the deal and put out the on the turn. This gave Blom trip aces but also gave his opponent a glimmer of hope as any club that did not fill up Blom would give him the win with a flush.
Fortunately for Blom the river was the and he was able to double up. Blom's all in was for roughly 44,000 and he is now sitting pretty around 90,000 in chips.
The under-the-gun player open limped and action folded over to Dan Smith in middle position - who raised to 1,200. The player on the button called and everyone else, including the original limper, folded for a heads-up pot.
The flop came and Smith fired 1,800 into the middle. Smith's opponent quickly mucked and Smith scooped the pot hassle free.
Donavan Russel is one of the many players representing Onnit today in the Main Event. The last Onnit player standing in the Main Event is set to win $5,000. After viewing a recent hand that Russel was involved in, it is safe to say the man is going to be around a little while longer.
The flop read prompting a bet from an early position player, Russel raised, and the early position player placed a three-bet that would put Russel all in. Russel quickly called and cards were tabled.
Russel:
Opponent:
Russel had a stranglehold on the hand with his pair of jacks, while all that could save his opponent was one of the two last tens in the deck.
The turn brought the which changed nothing, and the river saw the land on the felt. In the end Russel's jacks were best and he was awarded his double up.
