Tam Taking Over

Shamus

Jason Tam

Jason Tam is on a brief rush here after the dinner break, and with the blinds and limits this high, things can change rapidly in just a couple of hands.

After taking a couple of hands off of each of his opponents, a hand came up where Tomas Alenius raised his button, and Tam called from the big blind. The flop came {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

. Tam checked, Alenius bet, Tam check-raised, and Alenius called. The turn was the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

, and once again Tam checked, Alenius bet, Tam check-raised and Alenius called.

The river was the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

and both checked. Tam showed {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

for the flopped two pair, and Alenius {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

. Tam is way up over 1.8 million now, Alenius down to 720,000, and Barbieri down to 290,000.
