There are still a few heroes left in the later stages of the Main Event headlined by Charlie Carrel. The young British pro awaits his first bracelet and almost turns the Main Event into the signature win.

Speaking of Lamb, the 2011 November Niner introduces the world to Scott Blumstein. The 25-year-old from New Jersey gets a dramatic lead-in on Day 5 when he runs a bluff in a massive pot on Lamb that launches him up the leaderboard and into legitimate contention.

The hand includes an epic one-liner from Lamb and puts wind in the sails of Blumstein’s run toward the 2017 title.
