From the wsop results blog:
Benba Continues To Crush Souls


We walked by Ben Lamb's table, and noticed that he was going for his 32nd bounty of the tournament. Ok not that many but it seems like every time we look over he's collecting chips. Lamb and his short stacked opponent got all the chips in preflop, and it was your classic race.

Lamb: 6s6d
Opponent: AcQh

The flop was a great one for Lamb, coming 7h7c5s. The turn was also low, coming the 3s, and the river gave Lamb an unnecessary straight, coming the 4c. Lamb, who started the day as the biggest stack in the room, is back on top where he belongs, sporting a stack of 365,000.

This is redic. Again from the wsop results blog:
This Is Ben Lamb's World, We Are Just Visiting

To say that Ben Lamb has been on a heater is quite the understatement. He is running like he is on the sun. Lamb has just scored a double knockout to become the second player of the day to break the 400,000 mark. Lamb raised to 2,400 on the button, and both of the blinds made the call.



The flop came out 5h8h6h, and the small blind checked. The big blind went all in for about 14,000, and after getting a count, Lamb threw out a stack of orange chips worth about 60,000. It was on the small blind now, who had about 35,000 or so. He announced himself all in, and the cards were flipped up.

Lamb: 8s5s
Small Blind: Kh4h
Big Blind: Ad5s

Inexplicably, Lamb was actually behind in an all in, and would need to get lucky to score the double knockout. Of course, this is Ben Lamb we are talking about, so the table was hardly surprised when the 5c hit the turn to fill up Lamb. The river came the Kc, and Lamb collected all the chips, upping his stack to around 415,000.

Ben Lamb 415,000 50,000 up

Sick. I hope he makes a deep run, but as we all know, it's still a long, long way to the money, let alone the FT. From 2009, for those who don't know who he is:

Ben ended day 2b as the chip leader with over a half a million chips. Look out Phil Hellmuth... the PoY is still wide open.

If Hellmuth doesn't cash Ben needs 138th to overtake POY. That'd be a sick beat. Is there a prize for POY besides publicity? I heard they get 3 main event buyins, is that true?

Of course there are a bunch of other people that can win POY by shipping the main and a few that can do it with a top 5 or so finish, not counting what happens at WSOPE.
