Lamb Exerts Max Pressure

Ryan Lashmar

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Joshua Thibodaux opened to 8,000 from under the gun and received calls from Ben Lamb in the cutoff, Michael Duek on the button, John Holley in the small blind and Marco Johnson in the big blind.

The flop came A?10?7? and action checked around to Thibodaux, who fired a 22,000 continuation-bet. Lamb fired back with a pot-sized raise to 110,000 and action folded around to Thibodaux, who briefly went into the tank.

After a couple of minutes, Thibodaux opted to fold and Lamb took down a healthy pot without showdown.
