Ben Lamb's table recently broke from the Pavilion room to the Brasilia room. He drew a seat at Table #63 and he has played with at least one person at his table before.
Matt Giannetti and Ben Lamb are no strangers, having both made the final table of the Main Event last year. In fact, it was Lamb who eliminated Giannetti in fourth place.
Lamb is sitting two seats to Giannetti's left, so we can expect to see a familiar scene between the two players before Day 1c wraps up.
