Lamb Takes the Lead in Last Hand Before the Break
Level 28
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
In a limped pot to the 
flop, Ben Lamb checked with the 
for the bottom end of the straight and two pair. Robert Cowen bet 275,000 with the 
and Lamb called.
After the 
turn, Lamb check-called for another 925,000 and the 
fell on the river. After another check by Lamb, Cowen continued his story with a third barrel worth 1,125,000 into 3,150,000 and a curious Lamb immediately grabbed calling chips before thinking it over and making the call.
The last hand of the break changed the leaderboard as Lamb soared to the top prior to the first 15-minute break.
