Byrum on Fire

On a flop of {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {3-Spades}, action checked over to Blake Purvis and he bet 600. Only Jeremy Byrum called.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Byrum checked. Purvis bet 1,200 and Byrum called.

The river fell the {7-Diamonds} and Byrum asked how much Purvis had left. "About 10,500." replied Purvis.

With the pot sitting at exactly 4,200, Byrum fired 5,500. This bet seemed to confuse Purvis as he studied Byrum and the hand. Finally, he made the call.

Byrum quickly turned over pocket tens, {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}, for the nut full house and scooped the pot. Purvis flashed only the {10-Hearts}.

Earlier in the day, Byrum made quads with {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} against T.K. Miles and one other player for a sizable pot.

He's currently sitting with slightly over 60,000 chips.
