Tam Building a Massive Stack

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in the under-the-gun position opened to 6,000 and got calls from players in early position, middle position, the small blind and Benson Tam in the big blind, creating a five-way pot.

On a flop of 854, the small blind checked leading to a bet of 9,000 from Tam. The under-the-gun player called and all other players folded before the dealer put the 9 out on the turn.

Action was on Tam who checked to see the under-the-gun player bet out 20,000. Tam very quickly announced all in and the under-the-gun player folded immediately.
