Ben Lamb raised with the A♥K♦6♣5♣ on the button and was called by James Chen with the Q♠Q♦9♠6♠, Luis Velador also came along with the K♥K♣5♠2♦ out of the big blind. They checked the 8♠8♦3♣ flop which led them to the J♠ turn, as Chen picked up a straight and flush draw.
Chen checked and Velador bet, forcing a reluctant fold from Lamb. Chen called and hit the 10♦ on the river for his straight.
Chen bet and Velador snap-called to see his stack reduced to fumes.
