Ben Lamb Triples After Break
After the second break of the day we decided to pull up Table 3 – where two of the tournament big stacks were located, alongside Isaac Haxton and Ben Lamb.
While the former hovered just below starting for most of Level 5, the latter tripled to move up the leaderboard.
Action was picked up pre-flop, with Mark Radoja opening to 6,250 from under the gun. Big stacks Imad Derwiche and Bujtas Laszlo called, before Lamb three-bet from the small blind. All three players called to see the flop and then everyone except Derwiche got their chips in.
Lamb’s kings held to secure the triple and he’s now playing a top-10 stack. Laszlo picked up the smaller side pot and is playing a top-3 stack. Radoja was eliminated.
