Lamb Has Deeb Drawing Slim

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ben Lamb raised it up from the cutoff and Shaun Deeb defended his big blind. The flop came {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Deeb checked to Lamb who bet 240,000. Deeb check-raised to 1,000,000 and Lamb instantly shoved all in for 1,440,000. Deeb called and the cards were on their backs.

Ben Lamb: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Shaun Deeb: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Deeb was unable to hit any of his two pair outs and Lamb had his flush outs covered as well. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn and the {9-Diamonds} on the river ensured Lamb of a double up.

Lau Leaves Benyamine Short

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ka Kwan Lau raised under the gun to 225,000, and David Benyamine defended his big blind to the {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop. Benyamine check-called Lau's bet of 250,000, and led out on the {7-Spades} turn for 675,000. Lau called to the {q-Hearts} river, and Benyamine quickly led out for 800,000. Lau called and turned over {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a straight, while Benyamine showed {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and slid much of his stack to the left.

Benyamine Recovers a Little

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised to 225,000 in the cutoff and David Benyamine moved all in for 735,000 from the small blind. Deeb quickly called and Benyamine was at risk.

David Benyamine: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Shaun Deeb: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop gave Benyamine two pair and solidified his lead in the hand. The {9-Clubs} on the turn provided Deeb with four outs but the {2-Hearts} on the river was not one of them.

Lamb Doubles Through Lau

Level 26 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ben Lamb

After Ka Kwan Lau raised under the gun to 275,000, Ben Lamb counted his chips and three-bet to 975,000. The action folded around back to Lau, who took a moment before re-raising enough to put Lamb at risk and was quickly called.

Ben Lamb: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Ka Kwan Lau: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Lamb's ace-king was ahead preflop, and neither player would connect on the {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Clubs} runout. Lamb survived the all-in to double his stack through the chip leader.

Ben Lamb Eliminated in 7th Place ($156,387)

Level 26 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ben Lamb opened to 250,000 from under the gun and John Beauprez three-bet to 900,000 on the button. Lamb quickly jammed all in for just under 2,000,000 and Beauprez snap-called.

Ben Lamb: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts}
John Beauprez: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

"I wish we could chop," Lamb said before the community cards came. In many cases, the two players would chop the pot.

However, the flop came {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} to give Lamb a flush a stranglehold on the hand. The {4-Spades} peeled off on the turn which gave Beauprez trip fours.

"King!" Beauprez shouted. It was the {k-Diamonds} on the river and Beauprez made a full house to eliminate Lamb in seventh place.
