Lamb's Set Holds in a Three-Way Showdown
Level 6
: 0/0, 4,000 ante
Ben Lamb limped under the gun, Paul Phua and Peter Jetten both overlimped and Phil Ivey checked on the button.
The flop came down and Ivey was the only one who escaped, folding his after Phua pushed his 150,000 towards the middle and Jetten reshoved for 201,000. Lamb flopped the bottom set and put both Phua and Jetten at risk.
Phua:
Jetten:
Lamb:
It was almost a perfectly fair race with Lamb being the biggest favorite, having 35% equity to scoop the whole pot. The turn gave Jetten a flush draw but Lamb managed to avoid all bad cards on the river.
Jetten reloaded while Phua lost his final bullet and left the table. Lamb vaulted over 1 million in chips.
