Negreanu Out; Lamb and Cheong Having a Ruck

Posted 2012-06-19 GMT-6 by

Daniel Negreanu is inconspicuous by his absence. His table has broken and so we are not sure how his tournament ended, but do know - courtesy of his twitter account - that he did lose top set against a rivered straight ({K-} {K-} {4-} {3-} - on {K-} {Q-} {3-} {x-} {A-} board) sometime during Level 8.

Ben Lamb and Joseph Cheong are having some fun battering the hell out of each other. The pair are involved in pot after pot and judging by the chip stacks Lamb seems to be having the better of the exchanges. Here is one of those duels that ended in a split pot.

Lamb opened from the hijack, Cheong flicked out a quick three-bet on the button and Lamb called. the action checked through to the turn on a board of {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {8-Hearts} and Cheong called a 5,400 Lamb bet. On the river the pair saw the {2-Clubs} and the same action ensued; this time for 14,200.

Lamb{J-Spades} {9-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {5-Clubs}
Cheong{10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Spades} {7-Hearts}

Both players had the same straight and the pot was shared.
