As players were leaving for break, Emil Patel opened to 5,200 from late position and the 2011 World Series of Poker Player of the Year leader Ben "Benba" Lamb three-bet to 18,000 from the blinds. Patel thought for a bit before double fisting chips in the middle, making it 35,900, and Lamb responded by sliding our a large stack of orange T5,000 chips - which was enough to put Patel all in.
Patel called, and turned over 
. Lamb tabled 
.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh," Patel exclaimed.
"It's not over yet..." Lamb professed.
"If I go home and play golf tomorrow, it's fine," Patel admitted.
The flop fell 
, giving Lamb a gutshot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw, and the 
on the turn kept the flush draw alive.
"That's a big one," Lamb said.
The river was neither a six nor a diamond, but the 
was enough to eliminate Patel, and boost Benba's stack to an impressive 550,000 chips.
