2011 November Niner and 3rd place WSOP Main Event finisher Ben Lamb was in the cutoff and after some thought, he called.
The river delivered the

End of Level 11: 500/1,000/100 ante
Players are on break at the end of the level and according to the clock, there are only 153 remaining.
Just before the break, a big hand played out on Table 10. The flop read 
and the player in seat 7 (sb) bet 5k.
Bob ‘Uncle Krunk’ Panitch raised to 10,200 from the big blind, then Richard Kirsch (utg) called. The button folded and the small blind called.
Turn was the 
and all hell broke loose. Seat 7 bet 10,200, Bob messily shoved his whole stack in (54,200) and Richard Kirsch called all in for less. Seat 7 called, having Bob covered, and showed 
for top pair with club flush draw. Richard rolled over 
for open-ender with heart flush draw. Bob rolled over pocket 5s for the set and the lead.
Somehow Bob managed to fade half the deck as the river was the 
giving him a full house. Richard was busted and Bob chipped up to about 190k.

Level 11: 500/1,000/100 ante
Not exactly a WSOP Main Event re-match, but pretty close.
Joe Cada, the 2009 WSOP Main Event Champion has been seated right in front of us on table 7 all day today.
Then John Racener, the 2010 WSOP Main Event runner-up got moved to table 7, putting two November Niners on the same patch of felt.
It didn’t last long, however, as table 7 has broken and it’s players scattered into empty seats elsewhere in the room.
