Flying Visit for Tam

It looks as though Tek Lon Tam was only paying a flying visit and he lasted less than a single level. We arrived at the table and caught him in action in a blind versus blind battle against Justin Chan, who had just bet the 2,000 into a pot of roughly 4,000 with the board reading [x][x] with the paint arriving on the river.

Tam called but folded when Chan turned over , dropping down to a little under 10,000. This shrank still further the following hand after when Sam Cheong made it 1,200 to go from middle position and Tam (button) and Justin Chan (small blind) made the call to take the action three-way to a flop of .

Both players checked the action over to Cheong, who fired for 2,000 with Tam making the call and Chan bowing out to take the action heads-up to the turn.

Cheong loaded up a second barrel and flexed his monster stack, putting Tam all in and he quickly folded.

The very next hand he was out. It all started with a Joey Wong middle position raise to 1,250, which was called by Wingkei Chan before Tam shoved for his last 6,025 from the cut-off.

Wong folded quickly but Chan decided to look Tam up and the cards were turned over.

Tam’s race was over almost as soon as it started with the window card getting him to stand up and start packing his bag. The rest of the board ran out to see Chan’s flopped set improve to a full house and that was that for Tam’s Day 1B.
