Nap Tamm

You've heard that all a player needs is a chip and a chair? Well this time there is a chair with lots of chips in need of a player. The chip leader in the room is currently an empty chair behind a stack of 95,000. It turns out that Erik Tamm had an incredible run of luck and decided his first two levels were successful enough to earn him a nap. He's gone to bed after playing cash games at the casino all night long.

Tamm, a Swedish player who finished 14th at EPT San Remo in the spring and won a Bellagio Cup prelim this summer, is best known for his online accomplishments. His first two levels here saw enough action to rival any Sunday major. First he was gifted a player's entire stack when he four-bet with {k-}{q-} on {k-}{q-}{3-}, and oddly enough, his opponent called all in with {8-}{6-}. Then Tamm stacked another player when his {a-}{k-} managed runner-runner Broadway to defeat a set. If that wasn't enough, he picked up aces to best another player's kings.

Tamm was hit by the deck early, but he wasn't nearly as lucky in his seat draw. On his immediate left, he has Antony Lellouche and Roger Hairabedian. So for an exhausted Tamm, it seemed like a perfect time to preserve his chip lead and catch a few zzzs.
