A Lot of Lamb Chops
Ben Lamb was heads-up with Anson Tsang where all of the chips went into the middle on the flop. Lamb had six outs to outright win versus the two outs of Tsang. Neither player connected and the pot was chopped up.
Following that, Isaac Haxton raised to 175,000 in the hijack and was called by Petko Tsakov on the button and Lamb in the big blind. The flop came Q♦10♥9♣ and Haxton continued with a bet of 90,000, which both of his opponents called.
The turn was the J♣ and Lamb led out with a bet of 600,000. Haxton raised the pot, which got Tsakov out of the hand, but Lamb shoved all in for slightly more. Haxton called and the cards were tabled.
Ben Lamb: A♣K♦5♦2♣
Isaac Haxton: A♠K♥10♠8♥
Both players had the nut straight, but this time Lamb had an outright freeroll with a flush draw. The river was the A♥ and the two players chopped it up again.
