Lamb Wins With Two Pair
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Michael Martinelli made the minimum raise to 20,000 in the hijack and was called by Ben Lamb on the button. Blinds Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu followed suit and a flop of 10?Q?6? was fanned.
The action checked to Lamb, who made a bet of 45,000. Ivey and Negreanu got out of the way before Martinelli tossed in a call. Lamb then sized up to 130,000 on the 8? turn, and received yet another call.
"I'm likely gonna pot the river," Martinelli stated before the 10? river fell. However, he did not do so as he opted to check instead. Lamb checked behind and Martinelli showed A?J?6?5? for a missed combo draw and two pair, tens and sixes.
Lamb played the better two pair with A?8?6?5? for tens and eights and raked in the pot as a result.
