Ben Lamb Eliminated in 3rd Place ($622,861)
Ben Lamb raised the pot and then called all in for 1,375,000 in a battle of the blinds when Robert Cowen reraised. There was some discussion whether or not it was a call as Cowen had tossed in two chips but they eventually settled on the preflop contest.
Ben Lamb: 
Robert Cowen: 
The 
flop gave both players a pair while Cowen also had a straight and flush draw to go with it. After the 
turn, Cowen improved to a straight while Lamb had outs to a full house. However, the miracle escape never came when a blank 
river only improved Cowen to a flush.
After being the chip leader with half the chips in play an hour ago, Lamb has to settle for third place and a payday of $622,861. Cowen will enter heads-up play against Dash Dudley with a lead of more than three-to-one.
