Maybe Lamb before Moon since Moon didn't take it down?

Regardless of whether or not Lamb wins I am still considering it a win based on skill.

Heinz had equally the same luck with his whole stack at risk and rivering a straight with KJ against AK.

imo.

I really don't know what you are getting at.

Jamie Gold has probably had no worse luck than anyone else since his score, but his poker skills are so limited (to put it nicely) that the ONLY way he has ANY kind of shot to go deep in a big-field MTT is if he gets on an incredible heater.

For Ben Lamb to go deep, he only needs a few critical hands to go his way, just like ANY talented pro in a big-field event. Which is a hundred times more likely to happen (at the least) than for Gold to have another six-sigma run.
