Cain Rivers A Boat

Liam Gannon

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a five way pot that included Dan Hamm in early position and Ron Cain on the button.

The flop came out A?9?8? and action checked to Hamm who bet 2,200 and a player in middle position called. Cain raised to 4,500 from the button which folded out both of the blinds and Hamm responded by raising to 9,000 which both the middle position player and Cain called.

On the 9? turn, action checked to Cain who moved all in for 18,500 effective. Hamm went into the tank before tossing his hand into the muck while the middle position player called to put himself at risk.

Opponent: A?7?
Ron Cain: A?8?

Cain had been counterfeited by the turn and Hamm stood up and shook his head saying he folded ace-jack. The river came the 8? and Cain filled up to scoop the pot.

"Now I feel better about my fold," said Hamm as he sat back down.
