Ben Lamb appreciation thread - Page 2 - Poker News

lol at the hate..what lamb is doing this series is ridiculous. I opened pokernews this morning and had the same reaction as op "wow no way he's leading with 750k chips lol the kid don't stop". To build 5x the starting stack is no small feat on day 1 of that tourney.

[] day 1 of the tourney

He's way better than Madsen even prior to this WSOP. He's been grinding live/online for many years.

after bouncing around in the number of chips held over the last two days, he is at the final table 7th in chips with 1,180,000. this guy is no joke. I hope he takes it down. I haven't rooted for any new poker players in awhile, and I hope this guy has a deep ME run. what a series for him.

This is him deep in the 2009 ME. Fast forward 3 minutes. Norman chad calls his rail "Well lubricated."

If i had cashed like him, i'd be like, 'here's your money. lets drink' Maybe after the ME he'll cut loose, but if not, i'd have to respect his determination to win. the guy has ill skills and sounds like a nice guy from the posts in here, so i'm happy for him.
Also, was just checking the LV sun and found this article on the 50k.

anyways, i'm done nut hugging for now.

Thank you for the official confirmation. Many have been saying that for years, but it had been unofficial thus far.

Doubt he'll take the money off you tbh, prob carrying it on cause not drinking has been serving him well this series.
