Ben Lamb Rides the Wave in $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha/No-Limit Hold'em

Level 28 : Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

Day 3 of Event #14: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha/No-Limit Hold'em at the 2025 World Series of Poker has concluded within the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. What started as a 245-entry field, is now down to five, as they battle for their share of the $5,757,500 prize pool, a first-place prize of $1,302,233, and one of the most prestigious bracelets on the schedule.

Ben Lamb was the headliner today. In a room full of stars he shined the brightest; heading into the day with slightly over 2,700,000 chips, he was down to two big blinds with 14 players remaining and is now bagging close to half the chips in play. Hand by hand he asserted dominance over anybody who dared to enter his pots and rarely reached showdowns throughout the day.

Another day of big-name bustouts throughout Day 3 play, with Shaun Deeb, Nick Schulman, Laszlo Bujtas, Ben Tollerene, Michael Moncek, Youness Barakat, and many more big-name superstars within the poker space falling short of their goal of first place.

The bustout of John Pannucci ended Day 3 play, as his rundown hand could not crack the aces of Ben Lamb, who rivered a flush. However, it was not all bad for Pannucci, as he collected a $224,000 prize for finishing sixth.

John Pannucci
John Pannucci

Pot-Limit Omaha

Ben Lamb raised to 560,000 in the hijack, which Chongxian Yang called in the cutoff. John Pannucci then raised the pot to 2,600,000, leaving 530,000 chips back.

Lamb quickly moved all in, covering Yang's 5,730,000. Yang spent some time in the tank but eventually made a reluctant fold, revealing the other players' cards.

John Pannucci: K1096 All in
Ben Lamb: AA53

Pannucci flopped best on 9102, and his two pair remained ahead on the 3 turn. The 8 river gave Lamb the nut flush, however, eliminating Pannuci in sixth place and growing Lamb's lead to enormous proportions.

Pot-Limit Omaha

With John Pannucci absent in the big blind, Ben Lamb made it 375,000 to go in the hijack. Youness Barakat then moved all in for 850,000 in the cutoff, and Lamb called after he had counted the chips.

Youness Barakat: QQ87 All in
Ben Lamb: A1092

"That is very high in respect to the number of aces," Barakat observed as the AJA flop gave Lamb trips for a big lead. Neither the 3 turn nor the 6 river improved Barakat's queens, sending him to the rail in eighth place.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Brandon Mitchell raised from the hijack to 325,000 and was called by Robert Cowen in the big blind.

The flop came 663 and Mitchell bet 375,000, Cowen called.

The K turn was followed by a 625,000 chip bet from Mitchell, and once again Cowen called.

On a K river, Mitchell sent the third shell to the tune of 1,175,000. Cowen used 11 time banks, and in agony released his hand.

After the fact, Cowen said he folded 6x with diamonds; while Mitchell told Cowen he made the right play by folding and said he had AxKx
