Start-of-Day Chip Leader Eliminated by Tam

Not long ago, Aidan Tam cracked the pocket aces of Brandon Meyers in an all-in preflop situation. The hand gave Tam the chip lead and left Meyers, who began the day as chip leader, on a shorter stack. Unfortunately for Meyers, he was unable to recover after that bad beat.

In what would be his last hand, action folded to Meyers on the button and he moved all in for his last 130,000. The small blind folded, and fittingly, Tam made the call from the big.

The flop paired Tam's ace, but it also gave Meyers a flush draw. The turn gave Meyers even more outs, but he'd miss them all when the appeared on the river. Meyers made a hasty exit from the tournament floor while Tam increased his chip lead.
