Hamm Holds To Take an Overwhelming Chip Lead
A player opened to 7,000 in late position which saw a player in the hijack call and Dan Hamm called in the big blind.
The flop came out 2?A?3? and Hamm checked to the late position player who continued for 9,000 which prompted a raise in the hijack to 28,000. In the big blind, Dan Hamm re-raised to 100,000 and the late position player call while the hijack shook his head and folded.
On the 7? turn, Hamm moved all in for 218,000 effective and the late position called to create the biggest pot of the tournament over the course of three days.
Opponent: 10?8?
Dan Hamm: A?2?
Hamm had flopped top and bottom against his opponent's flush draw and his opponent had called to create a pot worth over 200 big blinds. The river 6? was a clean river for Hamm who took a huge chip lead over the rest of the field as he wished his opponent good game.
