Tam's Turn

Shamus

Jason Tam raised from the cutoff, and it folded back around to Al Barbieri who called from the big blind. The flop came {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

. Barbieri checked, Tam bet, and Barbieri called. It also went check-bet-call on the turn -- the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

-- and the river -- the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

.

Tam quickly turned over {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Spades}

for the flopped straight, and Barbieri mucked. Tam is up to about 550,000 now -- second place at the moment -- while Barbieri still holds the lead with just over a million.
