Ben Lamb Eliminated in Third Place ($4,019,635)Nov 08, '11
Lamb had two overcards with K-J, but failed to hit the board, leaving him crippled with just over 10 big blinds. Two hands later, Lamb moved all in and was immediately called by Staszko, who had picked up pocket jacks, his third pocket pair in as many hands. Lamb’s Q-6 had an overcard, but it failed to hit. For his efforts as the WSOP Player of the Year, Lamb picked up $4,019,635. As a result of his finish, he moves into sole possession of the Card Player Player of the Year lead as well. Entering heads-up play, Staszko now has a lead of 117.3 million to Pius Heinz’s 88.6 million. Be sure to follow all of the main event action on Card Player’s official twitter page.
Player Tags: Ben Lamb A Look at the Stage!Nov 06, '11 We are just about two hours away from the start of the 2011 World Series of Poker main event final table here at the Penn and Teller Theatre at the Rio. Here’s a look at the crew cleaning up the ESPN final table stage. You’ll notice that the stage is nearly identical to the stage used this summer in the Amazon Room. The only difference is that the bleachers have been spread to the sides to form a half circle. Take a look.
Player Tags: Matt Giannetti, Ben Lamb, Badih Bounahra, Eoghan O'Dea, Phil Collins, Martin Staszko, Sam Holden, Pius Heinz November Nine Set!Jul 20, '11
Leading the way into the four-month hiatus is the Czech Republic’s Martin Staszko, who has a slight advantage over Ireland’s Eoghan O’Dea. The final table will be a truly international affair, with seven different countries represented. The Americans will be the most prevelent at the Penn and Teller Theatre at the Rio, having three players in attendance. Matt Giannetti, Phil Collins and Ben Lamb also reside in third, fourth and fifth in the standings after some late night jostling.
Barring a spectacular performance at the WSOP Europe series from Phil Hellmuth, Lamb has nearly locked up the WSOP Player of the Year honors. He has now earned nearly $2 million this summer and is in a great position to triple or quadruple that amount. Badih Bounahra was at one point the shortest stack at the table, but he was able to pick up a big hand to double through, becoming the first player to represent Belize at the final table in WSOP history.
The rest of the final table is rounded out by Ukraine’s Anton Makievskyi and the U.K.’s Sam Holden. Both players will have their work cut out for them in November, returning with less than 30 big blinds. The unfortunate final table bubble boy was John Hewitt, who made a questionable call against Bounahra that saw his stacked crippled. He eventually lost a coinflip to O’Dea to see his Main Event run come to an end. By surviving until November, Eoghan and his father, Donnacha O’Dea, have become the first father and son pair to make the WSOP Main Event final table. Donnacha finished ninth in 1991 and sixth in 1983.
