Meyers Takes a Huge Hit

Level 9 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

A preflop raising war saw Aidan Tam get his stack of 730,000 all in preflop holding the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Much to his dismay, he discovered he was crushed by the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} of Brandon Meyers. The start-of-the-day chip leader was primed to vault over 2 million, but sometimes fate can be cruel. This was one of those times.

The {6-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop gave Tam the lead with a set, and Meyers could do nothing but shake his head. Neither the {7-Hearts} turn nor {3-Diamonds} river helped him regain the lead, and he watched more than half his stack sent over to his Australian foe.
