Lam Turns Jack to Crack Aces

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action came in on the turn with the board reading {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and a pot of 14,500. Aaron Lam was under the gun and raised a bet of 6,500 from his middle position opponent to 33,500.

His opponent did not have much more than that behind and tried talking to Lam to get him to reveal any info. He complemented Lam's watch as Lam's arm rested on the table motionless. He tried multiple times "Hey, hey buddy. Will you show me if I fold? Hey!" he repeated a few times.

Lam did not budge or say anything. Eventually his opponent tossed in the rest of his chips which was a few thousand more which Lam called. The all in player showed the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, which Lam had crushed with the {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Lam gathered his opponent's chips who walked away empty handed.
