We join this hand on the flop, with the board showing {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} , and the action on Anthony Perry. He checks it over to Michael Ium, who puts in a bet of 10,000. Perry check-raises all in for his last 29,000, and Ium makes the call.

Anthony Perry shows {K-Hearts} {J-Spades} , and Michael Ium tables the hand in the lead, {A-Hearts} {8-Spades} . The {6-Spades} on the turn makes Ium a straight, and the river {2-Diamonds} fails to hit Perry and sends him out to the lobby. Ium has upped his stack over the first big milestone, sitting with 104,000.
