Lamb Chops Chens

Jim Murray

Level 15 : Limits 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

James Chen (Taiwan) raised from middle position and was called by James Chen (US) in middle position. Ben Lamb then three-bet from late position and both Chens called.

The flop came 7?J?10? and Chen (T) lead out. Chen (US) called and Lamb raised. Chen (T) called Lamb's raise and then Chen (US) three-bet, both Lamb and Chen (T) called.

The turn brought the 4? and both Chens checked to Lamb, who laughingly said, "what happened?" Before placing a bet. Both Chens called and the dealer put out the 5? river.

Again both Chens checked to Lamb who bet. Chen (T) called and Chen (US) folded. Lamb tabled A?10?4?2? for two pair and a seventy-five low, which would be good enough to scoop.
