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.
