Garza Takes the Chip Lead
Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
With 5♠3♣, Lou Garza raised the button to 750,000 and Ben Lamb called out of the big blind with K♠10♦.
The dealer spread out a flop of A♠4♣K♥ and Lamb checked. Garza fired a continuation-bet of 550,000, which Lamb called.
The 2♦ dropped on the turn, prompting a second check from Lamb. Garza bet 1,500,000 and Lamb made the call.
Lamb checked for the last time on the Q♣ river, and Garza carved out a bet of 5,700,000. Lamb agonized over the decision for quite some time before tossing his cards into the muck, forfeiting the pot to Garza.
