Lamb Has Heaps, Negreanu Saves His Stack, Tsang Hits the Rail

Level 10 : 0/0, 1,500 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

Anson Tsang opened to 11,000 from under the gun and Ben Lamb raised to 55,000 on his left. Daniel Negreanu was next to act and took some time before laying his hand down. The action was back on Tsang who ripped all in for around 290,000. Lamb snapped him off and the cards were tabled.

Anson Tsang: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Ben Lamb: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

"Wow! What a good fold!" Negreanu shouted. "I folded kings."

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to give Tsang a straight draw. The {7-Hearts} on the turn also gave him a flush draw but the {10-Spades} on the river bricked everything. It was a massive pot that saw Lamb soar in front of the rest of the field.

"I should have your chips too," Lamb said to Negreanu.

"Ha ha look at me. I still have 200k," Negreanu recorded on his vlogging equipment.

"You should have busted, not him," Cary Katz pointed out. "He's cheating!"

Lamb Does the Slaughtering

Level 10 : 0/0, 1,500 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

Action picked up on the turn in a heads-up pot. The board read {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and about 36,000 was up for grabs.

Seongsu Kong checked to Ben Lamb who decided to check behind.

The river fell the {6-Clubs}. Kong bet 21,000 and Lamb thought for about 45 seconds. He wasn't calling, though, he slid 85,000 into the middle.

Kong now went into the tank, but after 30 seconds, he made the call.

Lamb showed {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the rivered flush which brought groans from Kong.

"How do you make a flush? They're so hard to make in this game," said Anson Tsang.

"Hard to get, but you make lots of money when you get it," said Lamb. "I didn't know if you had a full house or a bluff, but I wanted a call."

Bad Beat Sends Wong to the Rail

Level 10 : 0/0, 1,500 ante

Chino Rheem and Jacky Wong were heads-up on a flop of {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} with around 30,000 in the middle already. Rheem checked to Wong who bet 15,000 and Rheem check-raised to 70,000. Wong shipped all in for around 150,000 and Rheem quickly called.

Jacky Wong: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Chino Rheem: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}

Wong flopped the nut straight with a flush draw and Rheem was in trouble with just two pair. However, the {j-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn to give Rheem a full house. Wong still had outs to a flush but the {k-Clubs} on the river sent him to the rail.
