Nam Begins the Long Climb Back

[user75032]

Things are getting testy at the final table. Hyoung Jin Nam, who had one time had a commanding chip lead, seems to be steaming slightly now that he's in third place. He called a raise by Van Marcus to 85,000, then check-called a bet of 95,000 on a flop of {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

. Both players checked through the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

turn and the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

river. Nam triumphantly slammed down {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

at showdown and collected the pot when Marcus mucked.
