Top Pair is Good for Hamby

With 3,000 in the pot after a flop of {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, action checked to Jared Hamby in the cutoff who pushed all in for 5,600. His opponent in the small blind made the call for less, pushing his 3,700 chips into the middle.

Small Blind: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Hamby: {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

When the board finished with the {J-Clubs} and {K-Diamonds}, Hamby's 10s held and his stack increased to 12,000.
