William Tam Doubles Up

[user38449]

William Tam just doubled up courtesy of Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier, winning a huge race to earn 220,000 new chips and a whole lot of extra breathing room.

Tam had made it 20,000 to go from under-the-gun and ElkY re-popped it to 60,000. Tam then moved all in over the top of ElkY's bet for a total of 110,000; ElkY made the call.

Tam: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

ElkY:

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

Elky picked up a gutshot straight draw when the flop came {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

, but Tam's hand was the only one that improved as he spiked a third jack on the river to scoop the pot.

Tam stacked up just over 220,000 in chips after the hand, while Grospellier dropped to 150,000.
