Lamb Doubles Through the Leader
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Najeem Ajez opened to 175,000 in the cutoff and Ben Lamb three-bet to 600,000 from the big blind. Ajez called and they went heads-up to a flop of J♦10♠7♠. Lamb shoved all in for his last 765,000 and Ajez quickly called.
Ben Lamb: A♣K♠Q♦J♣
Najeem Ajez: K♥Q♥9♠2♠
Both players flopped wraps, but it was Lamb who currently held the best hand. The K♦ on the turn gave Lamb Broadway and he just needed to fade a spade that would give Ajez the flush.
The 9♦ on the river gave Lamb the needed double up.
