Paulsen Stacked, Tam Soars to the Top

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Aidan Tam
Aidan Tam

Kai Paulsen opened from under the gun to 1,500 only to have Aidan Tam three-bet to 5,000 from the cutoff. The action passed back to Paulsen and he four-bet to 11,500.

Tam spent nearly two minutes deliberating before pushing out all his yellow 5,000-denomination chips into the pot signifying a five-bet to 120,000. Paulsen then took his allotted time before eventually opting to commit his 41,500 total as the cards were then placed on their backs.

Paulsen: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Tam: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

With Tam dominating the Norwegian, the {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop furthered Tam's lead but left the gate open for backdoor spades for Paulsen. And that's what would be delivered on the turn as the {3-Spades} fell, but unfortunately for Paulsen, the river landed the {J-Diamonds} and he was forced to head to the rail as Tam soars to 191,000 in chips.
