Lam Has a Heart

The all-in bet and call happened so quickly between Charles Lam and Dermot Blain that we almost didn't register it. On a flop of {Q-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} Lam led out for 49,000, all of his remaining chips. Blain quickly called with {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}, a set of sevens. He needed to fade Lam's heart draw, {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. The {k-Clubs} on the turn was not a heart, but it gave Lam a few more outs to a Broadway straight. He popped out of his chair and clapped his hands excitedly when the {9-Hearts} hit the river to fill his flush. He doubled up to about 140,000.
