It only took one hand for the action to begin. Ben Lamb opened for a raise only to get three-bet by Martin Staszko. Lamb responded with a shove and Staszko only deliberated for a few seconds before calling off his stack with pocket sevens.

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.
